KUTSCHENREITER,
Karl
Jr.
Karl KUTSCHENREITER,
Jr. was born on January 9, 1950 in Pichling,
Austria. He was the first-born child of Juliana
(AMENT) and Karl
KUTSCHENREITER. A couple of years later the family grew with
the addition of his little sister Wilma. He lived in Austria
until May 25, 1955 when Julie, Karl Jr. and Wilma travelled to
Canada by boat to Montreal and then by train to Toronto where
they joined Karl Sr. who had been in Toronto making it possible
for the rest of the family to join him.
The KUTSCHENREITERs lived in Toronto from 1955-1959 at which
time they moved to Shrigley; by December of 1959 they moved to
the family farm on Highway 10.
Karl attended public school at S.S.#4 at Victoria Corners. He
attended the Dundalk High School and Grey Highlands Secondary
School. Karl attended Humber College and studied as a heavy equipment
diesel mechanic - an education that he used for the rest of his
working years.
He had three children: Kyle, Shannon and Tanya.
Karl settled on his property at R.R.#3 Flesherton around 1989,
where he lived until his death.
Karl held various jobs, which included: heavy equipment operator,
equipment repair, mechanic, welder, pond builder and truck driver.
Karl was a man that could operate anything with a diesel engine.
He was a kid that never grew up - always playing with his toys
in the dirt.
He will be remembered by others for his young "Elvis" hair, his
motorcycle days and his willingness to help a friend out no matter
what. Karl enjoyed being with Friends in the outdoors, both hunting
and fishing.
