Karl Teasdale Whitfield

Karl Teasdale Whitfield passed away peacefully at Huronview Home for the Aged on Monday, May 19, 2024, in his 90th year.

 

Predeceased by his loving wife Sandra Whitfield (2021) of 64 years. He was the father of Lonnie (Marilyn), Dale (Sharon), Kurt (Lisa) and Dean Whitfield and grandfather to Nicolle (Ryan) Cook, Nollan Whitfield, Tori Oliver (Adam Schiestel), Kellsey Whitfield (Chad Henderson), Carly (Andrew) Gubasta, Braydon Whitfield, Kendall James and Collin Whitfield. He will be missed by 13 great-grandchildren and his sister-in-law Yvonne Youngblut.

 

Karl was predeceased by sisters Joan Watson and Rosemarie Campbell. 

 

Karl always had the best smile and conversation waiting for you. He was a long-time plumber, pipefitter and farmer, working all over the province. Karl was a hard worker and loved to see the finished result from his actions. Karl always had to be busy working on some project or getting some chore done. 

 

He never sat still; he was the teacher of the perfectly-piled wood pile and was a wealth of knowledge with the best stories, which he loved to tell his grandkids. His pride and joy was his wife, his family, his farm and their German Shepherds. He adored his family and would do anything for them. He will be forever missed.
 

Cremation has taken place. A private family service will take place at a later date.

 

In lieu of flowers and expressions of sympathy, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
