Allan Hassler

Hassler, Allan 11/20/1951 - 3/17/2023 Paw Paw, MI Allan Hassler, 71, of Paw Paw, MI passed away at home with his family by side Friday, March 17 from an aggressive cancer. His last words, "I love you", to his wife of 30 years were a perfect indication of his life, and their devotion to each other. Al's love was felt by many, especially those who hunted or fished with him throughout the years. He loved fast Mustangs and a variety of music. From dune riding in his Jeep, to falling out of boats filled with his granddaughters, and many fabulous meals at the Copper Grille, his life was an adventure not to be forgotten. Birthday's will never be the same for loved ones, who will surely miss the annual call from Al, who would sing his own upbeat version of Happy Birthday to them. Born November 20, 1951, graduated from Paw Paw High School in 1969, and was a Sergeant in the US Army in the early 70's. Al spent 27 years at Georgia Pacific Paper Company in Kalamazoo, until they closed, then retired from Coca Cola in Paw Paw. Preceded in death by Parents Ernest and Carol Hassler, Sister Rebecca, Brothers Larry and Ernie Hassler, Daughter Shannan and Son-In-Law Kevin Hagen, in-laws Arnold and Marilyn Harvey. Al will be remembered with wry smiles by his Wife Linda Hassler, children Brad (Amber) Hassler, Tyler Robinson, Ryan (Carrie) Rucinski. Grandchildren, Haley, Lyndsey, Kylie, Pierce, Lillian, Ted and Charlotte. Sisters, Caroline (Jimmy), Erneen and Crystal. Brothers in Law. Dennis (Daphne), Dale (Mary), Scott (Cheryl) many cherished nieces and nephews. A celebration of life will be scheduled for a later date.
