He emigrated as a young man from Germany to make Regina his home in 1948, where he met and married Gertrud and began their family together. Karl was trained as an electrician and worked for Stettner Electric where he worked for 25 years until illness and disability forced an early retirement. Strong personal determination along with the support of his wife and Regina's medical community helped him meet his many medical challenges. Karl was a longtime member of the German Club and German Mardi Gras. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, working in his yard, following Canadian politics, cheering for the Roughriders and his daily coffee row. Special thanks to the staffs of Regina's hospitals and Wascana Rehab, in particular those involved with the home TPN program and Dr. McHattie, Dr. Bester and Shirley.
