personality

“Prelate Wymann was a person of his own stamp, an original of the most precious kind. Sarcastic spirit and the joy of telling stories, contempt for everything conventional and bureaucratic characterize his personality. He was extremely amiable and, despite an occasional 'crash', seldom loyal to his friends. Through generous foundations, he, who personally lived very simply, testified to his selflessness. "
