Karl Kogler

Karl Kogler 78, passed away in Marysville on September 15, 2010. He owned a custom marine canvas business on his small ranch on the Sacramento River between Isleton & Rio Vista; he raised cattle there and grew flowers, fruit & vegetables which he loved to share with friends & family. When he retired from designing & fabricating canvas work 15 years ago, he sold the ranch & moved with his new wife, Darla, to Loma Rica where they grazed cattle on the properties they bought there. Karl loved to find a run-down place and transform it into a site both productive & attractive. Born in Kremsbrucke, Austria in 1932, he came to America with his lovely Dutch wife, Rita (who predeceased him in 1977) and their 2 young sons. He is survived by his wife, Darla, his sons, Fred (Ferdinand) & Hans (Hans Rudolf), both of Rio Vista, his stepdaughter, Mylinda Finney of Clovis, CA, stepson Randy (Randall) Noseworthy of Lakewood, OH, a brother Adolf Kogler of Austria, a sister, Martha Payer of Austria as well as 9 grandchildren, Carl, Erick, Maria & Christoph Kogler, all of Rio Vista, Sairene Patterson of Fresno, Bryan Wood of Paradise, CA, Elizabeth & Alexander Noseworthy of Avon Lake, OH, and one great-granddaughter Tayana Dae Wood of Paradise, along with many beloved nieces & nephews. One of the happiest days of his life was May 1, 1969 when he became a citizen of the USA.
