Karl ran a Service Station in Dutch Settlement for over 30 years and retired from the Department of Transportation in Miller Lake. He was a founding member of the Dutch Settlement Volunteer Fire Department, and Chartered Member and King Lion of the Milford and District Lions Club. Karl had many hobbies and past times that he enjoyed over the years including Hunting, Fishing, Camping, doing puzzles, gathering maple syrup, spending time at Shaw’s Lake, and Dancing with his wife at the Senior’s Club in Truro. His greatest passion was his family and being a great husband, dad, grandfather and great-grandfather.

We invite Family and friends to celebrate his life during a visitation from 1-3pm on Friday, October 16th in Ettinger Funeral Home, Shubenacadie. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia.
