PASTL: Wayne
It is with great sadness the family announces the sudden and unexpected death of Wayne Joseph Frank Pastl, 75 years, of Watson on Tuesday, January 5, 2016. Wayne was born in Watson, SK on July 30, 1940 to Joseph and Marie (nee Doepker) Pastl, the eldest of 13 children. He obtained all of his education at the Iron Spring School near Watson. On August 10, 1964 Wayne married Mardelle Jurgens at Sacred Heart Church in Watson, SK and this union was blessed with seven children. Wayne worked with his father on the farm for a while then ventured out and obtained employment with Sask. Wheat Pool on the construction crew. Later he worked at West Land Industries and Schmidt Industries. He loved to work with wood and create amazing items with his lathe. He has shared many items from bird houses, tables, vases and bowls with his family and friends. Wayne鈥檚 roots were on the farm and he loved all aspects of the farm life especially harvest time where he would spend hours upon hours on the combine. Wayne and Glenn farmed together for many years and they had the best working relationship. As long as Wayne kept the combine moving, Glenn was happy. The children have fond memories of sharing quality time in the cab of the combine or tractor. They would take their blankets, books and lunch and be with their dad. The family enjoyed skating on the rink Wayne would make for the kids in the winter and trips to the lake in the summer. He loved to collect things and save everything 鈥渏ust in case鈥� you would need something someday. He was an avid stamp and coin collector. He loved antiques too and has many precious items. Wayne loved to garden especially his purple petunias. When February would come around he would become excited about starting a new batch of flower seeds in the house to beautify his yard come spring. He was a great help for Mardelle when it came to berry picking and preserving. They worked well together, especially when it came to anything to do with apples. Wayne was a very social person he loved to visit and catch up on the local news around the community. It wasn鈥檛 uncommon for him to make a few trips a day to town for coffee. He also enjoyed a good game of cribbage, pool or bowling. Wayne loved to keep busy. When the grandchildren came into Wayne鈥檚 life he was the happiest grandpa ever, he would spend hours with them reading, playing or showing them the ways of the farm and how to fix and save things 鈥渏ust in case鈥�. Wayne loved his life on the farm, and as he so wished, he died as he lived, on the farm.
