  Carl W. Bastjan, age 97, passed away at St. Paul Home, Kaukauna, WI, on Sunday, March 22, 2009, with his wife Edna by his side. Carl was born January, 2, 1912, in Appleton, to Henry and Emma (Kubitz) Bastjan. Carl grew up in Appleton and attended Zion Lutheran School and Appleton Public Schools and graduated in 1930. Carl often helped his school custodian father stoke the furnaces at two different Appleton schools. Carl delivered the Post-Crescent newspapers and shined shoes at the old Conway Hotel. He proudly graduated from Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis, in their electrical school program in 1936. After returning to Appleton, Carl worked for Kimberly-Clark as an electrician. While attending a youth group meeting at Zion Lutheran Church, Carl met his future wife, Edna Keilwitz, from Hebron, NE, who was now the 3rd and 4th grade teacher at Zion Lutheran School. They were married at Zion Lutheran Church on June 15, 1937, and immediately moved to Washington, D.C., where Carl was employed by Addressograph-Multigraph Corporation (A-M) as a service representative. He worked in many government offices including the Treasury Department, the Navy Department and the Pentagon. Carl was deferred during World War II, because of the importance of his work with the government and the military. He also taught at the A-M service school in Cleveland, OH. While in Washington D.C., a daughter Carla and a son Vernon were born. In 1947, Carl was transferred to the Milwaukee A-M office, but he and the family lived in Fond du Lac where he worked as the service representative for the northern territory of the Milwaukee A-M office. In 1953, Carl and family moved to Milwaukee where he was promoted to Service Manager of the Milwaukee A-M office. In 1973, Carl retired from A-M after 36 years of faithful service. During these years Carl was an active member of his local Lutheran church by faithfully attending church and by serving on the church council. In 1977, Carl and Edna moved to Appleton after being gone for forty years. Carl rejoined Zion Lutheran Church where he had been baptized, confirmed in the faith and married to Edna. He was active at Zion as a money counter, Keenager and Eltergarten member. He particularly enjoyed playing cribbage and pool using his own pool cue. He was an active vegetable gardener and apple grower. He continued repairing the A-M credit card machines for many years in his garage and basement. Carl is survived by his wife of 71 years, Edna, St. Paul Home; daughter Carla (Robert Hannemann, Eau Claire; a son Vern (Nancy) Bastjan, Sherwood; four grandchildren: Alan (Crystal) Hannemann, Crowley, TX; Greg (Lori) Hannemann, Kalamazoo, MI; Amy (Luke) Stachovak, Rothschild, WI; Adam (Heather) Bastjan, Wauwatosa, WI; and 6 great-grandchildren with the seventh due in July. He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters and brothers-in-law: Helen and Stan Smarzinski; Lucille and Willard Ferron; a brother, Vernon Bastjan; a sister-in-law and brother-in-law: Elsie (Keilwitz) and Al Hoffman; three half-sisters: Lillian Thiel, Meta Maes and Gertude Jury, and many many friends.
