DAVID JOHN FOGAL, age 68 of Waseca, died Saturday, September 28, 2024, at his residence.

He was born on April 20, 1956, in Wells, a son of John and Rosa (Tesch) Fogal. He graduated from Owatonna High School – Class of 1974. Following school David began working for the railroad, a part of the “tye gang” where he’d work for two years. Throughout his early years of work, he also worked for Fogal TV Service, his family’s business, as a second job. He also worked for the National Tree Service for a year and a half as a power pole inspector; Brown-Printing for 15 years as a press operator; Clear Lake Press for 14 years as a print press supervisor; and before he took sick, most recently at Corchrans as a metal fabricator. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, being outdoors, spending time with his family, admiring “pretty women”, and enjoying his Winston cigarettes. David always had a positive, happy attitude, who always held his family’s best interests in mind. His jokes and sense of humor could light up a room with laughter, he will be missed by all who knew him. Prior to his illness, he spent his last years taking care of his mother in Owatonna. He was a member of First Lutheran Church in Waldorf.
