William A. Hartle

William A. Hartle was 74 years old at the time of his death. He was married to Stana for 52 years. Family was very important to Bill and together they raised two children Jade (Bradley) Wieland and Kreg Hartle (Karen). In later years, they took delight as their family grew to include grandchildren: Ian Frazier, Andrew (Britney) Wieland, Evan (Brie) Wieland, Kaitlynn (Richard) Norton; Kody, Wade, and little Kreg Hartle; Brady and Brody Dunlap. They also have the added joy of great-grandchildren: Rafe, Grayson, and Brielle Wieland; Fynnley and Emersynn Norton.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Doris and Adam Q. Hartle; grandparents Isadore and Roy Bowman; Donald Clark Lewis, Anna and Adam Poe Hartle; Uncle Barney Lewis; his in-laws, William F. and Jo Ann Barnes; his siblings, John Mark Hartle and Denise Bastak; brothers-in-law Bob Keiser and Jeff Bastak; nephews Justin Wellman and Ricky Keiser. He is survived by his sisters: Linda Keiser and Jeanette (Randy) Cordova; sister-in-law Terri Padilla. His nephews are: Roy (Abby) Keiser, Robert (Monique) Keiser, Randy (Shelvy) Keiser; Mark Hartle, and Ryan Wodiuk. His nieces are: Carrie Songer; Angela, Andrea and Randy Jo Cordova; Shawna and Sherrie Hartle; Jodi Wellman. In addition, to numerous other extended family members.

Bill was a hardworking man who spent 40 years working at the steel mill. He loved spending time in nature, hiking, jogging, and taking care of his yard. In his life, he held many titles that he was proud of:  Son, Uncle, Husband, Father, and Papa. On July 14, 1962, he was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses along with his sister, Linda. Since his dedication, he had the privilege to serve the Christian Congregation and to help others come to know their loving heavenly Father, Jehovah God in the ministry. He understood how important Jehovah God’s purpose and his promises recorded in the Bible are for all people, especially in difficult times. He dealt with serious health issues for many years. Yet, he always turned to his faith to help him face and endure the trials of life. These are a few of the scriptures in which he found peace, comfort in 2 Cor. 1:2-6 and hope for the future at Rev. 21: 3,4. We look forward to being together again in Paradise.

Bill chose to be cremated and his family is fulfilling his final wishes. His memorial service will be held at the Pueblo West North Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 785 E. Spaulding Ave., Pueblo West, CO 81007 on December 3^rd at 2:00 pm. Officiating will be Orlando Bobian, Sr. and Chairman will be Tony Herrera.
