Karl Winterhalter

Karl Immigrated to the United States in the early 1950’s with his wife, Wilma, from Germany. Settling into their forever home, he had a successful career as a Journeyman Tool and Die maker, retiring from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in 1996. Some of Karl’s passions were fishing the many lakes in Northern Wisconsin, always scouting for a Musky. Karl also enjoyed gardening, as well as building or fixing everything that broke.

Karl was preceded in death by his wife, Wilma; and is survived by his daughter, Nancy; a son; and grandchildren.
