Herman Henry Pangerl of Grasston, died on Monday, September 14, 2015 at his home with his family by his side at the age of 82 years. Herman was born on July 1, 1933 to Magdeline (Rothenbacher) and Edward Pangerl of Royalton Township. He attended District #7 country school in Royalton Township. He grew up farming and loving the outdoors on the family farm on the Brunswick Road. He loved to deer hunt and spend time with his "Old Weasel Gang" friends up in Nickerson, Minnesota. He met Grace Erickson Pearson at a dance at the Fish Lake Pavilion in Mora. They were married on April 3, 1964 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Rush City. They lived in Grasston with their 2 daughters, Georgia and Jane. Herman drove a milk truck and occasionally hauled freight to the cities for years. His true love was building things. He spent most of his working years in carpentry and even after retirement he was usually found in his wood shop building or fixing something. He also worked for the village of Grasston, mowing grass, handling all building maintenance and many other tasks. He was the "guy to call” if you had a question about Grasston. Herman was also a member of the Grasston Lions for many years as well as helping at the Senior Dining site every week. He spent countless hours sitting in a deer stand on their "40" or fishing on the Snake River behind their farm.
