SCHULER: Karl Fred

January 3, 1935 – April 4, 2016

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Karl Fred Schuler of Humboldt, SK, announces his death on Monday, April 4, 2016, at his residence. He was 81 years of age. Karlleft this world doing what he loved - working! Karl, the second of eight children, was born on Thursday, January 3rd, 1935, to Karl Sr. and Emma (nee Lechler) Schuler at Middle Lake, SK. He grew up on the family farm and began working on the farm at an early age. Karl left the farm as a young man to work at various jobs but the farm was his calling. He met Jean Andres, a nurse who came to Middle Lake from McNutt, SK, to work at Bethany Pioneer Village. They were married on July 31st, 1965. Karl and Jean made their home on the Schuler farm one-half mile west and one-half mile south of Middle Lake. Two sons, James and Todd, were born to them. In 1974, after the death of his youngest brother Walter, Karl took part-ownership in Schuler Construction with his brother Heinz while continuing to farm. After Karl’s family grew to include grandchildren, he was delighted and was a proud “Papa” to Faith, Seth, Jayna and Gabe. Karl and Jean retired to Humboldt in 2007 and to Humboldt Lake Resort in 2009. Farming, fishing, hunting, and gardening were all things Karl enjoyed. He especially loved operating construction equipment which he did until his last day. Karl always had the ability to get things done - his way! “Life’s work well done Karl, life’s work well done.” Karl is survived by his wife of 50 years, Jean (nee Andres) Schuler; two sons and four grandchildren: James (Paula) Schuler and family Seth, Jayna and Gabe, and Todd (Tanya) Schuler and daughter Faith, all of Humboldt, SK; two sisters and one brother: Eleanor (John) Schreiner of Saskatoon, SK; Heinz (Dorothy) Schuler of Middle Lake, SK; and Lanee (Everett) Yuskiw of Radisson, SK; three sisters-in-law: Audrey Schuler, Shirley Schuler, and Jeanette Schuler, all of Saskatoon, SK; numerous in-laws of the Andres family; and by many nieces and nephews.
