Karl will be lovingly remembered by Violet, his wife of 56 years; children, Rodney (Audrey), Susan, Mark, Jo Anne (Lynn) and Tim (Corinne) nine grandchildren; and brothers, Oscar and Gerald. He was predeceased by a brother Bert. Karl was born in Jansen, SK on August 7, 1920, moving to Manitoba with his family during the Depression.

Karl farmed until the age of 80 and shortly after "retired" to Assiniboine Links in Winnipeg. He served for many years as a trustee on the Brunkild Consolidated School Board, was a director of the Brunkild Pool Elevator Association and a long standing member of the Canadian Seed Growers Association. Dad was a progressive farmer, embracing new technology as it changed over the years and building a farm establishment to live on for years to come. The family would like to thank the caring staff and doctors at Deer Lodge Centre, T5 and T6.
