Si Hassler was born on July 30, 1920, in rural Howard, South Dakota to Herman and Magdalena (nee Wunder) Hassler. In 1925 the family moved to the Pine Island area. With the passing of his father, he and his older brothers ran the family farm. Si credited an older neighbor, Emil Krause for taking him under his wing as a young boy and teaching him the ways of the farm. When his older brothers were inducted into the service Si ran the family farm along with his mother and sister. On June 16, 1946 Si married the love of his life Dorothy Weckerling at St. Paul Lutheran Church and shorty after they took over the Weckerling farm just 2 miles SE of Pine Island. Si was a member of the St. Paul Lutheran Church where he sang in choir, was a member of the board and was in the Sr. Luther League. He was a member of the Goodhue County DHIA and on the Pine Island Elevator Board of directors. Si and his brother Perry also owned and operated Hassler Brothers Sand and Gravel for many years. Si enjoyed tinkering in the shop, fishing trips to Canada, drives around the country side, visiting with friends and the neighbors, spending time with his grandchildren and all the little "greats" and holding hands with his sweetheart.
Si is survived by his wife, Dorothy of Pine Island; daughter, Margaret Lynn (Grant) Friese; sons, Michael (Laurie) Hassler, and Mark (Virginia) Hassler all of Pine Island; ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Si was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Earl, Warren, and Perry; three sisters, Esther Stoll, Kathryn Forbeck and Mildred Krause; and an infant daughter, Lori Chris.
