Karl R. Meister
1948-2022
It’s with sadness we share
that Karl Meister of New Ross passed away on November 23, 2022. Or, as
he said it, “time for me to go to my forever
home.”
Born in
1948 to the late Rex and Beatrice (Freeman) Meister, Karl was someone
who quietly made a difference in the lives of everyone around him. His
74 years had an impact.
Farmer.
Scientist. Teacher. Photographer. Hockey goaltender. Poet. Writer. Fan
of classical music, classic rock, and even a touch of German techno.
Philosopher. Fluent German speaker. Traveller. Foodie. Backyard
astronomer. Lover of a fine cup of coffee. Lumberjack. Cook. Mentor.
And just the most amazing husband, father, and
grandfather.
Karl was
many things to many people. He was a good man who lived a life rooted
in his faith and principles.
Although
that life took him to Germany, Northern Quebec and Baffin Island, his
heart was always on the farm in New Ross. We’ll all keep an
image in our minds of him walking in the fields with his beloved
cattle following close behind.
He
leaves behind his wife of 45 years, Alice (Strapp); his two sons David
(Christina) and Sean (Jennifer); granddaughter Rosie; brother Robert
(Paulette); and many nieces and nephews. We’re all so proud
to have been in his life and we miss him
dearly.
Cremation has taken place and there
will be no visitation by request. The Funeral service will be held on
Thursday, December 8, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. in the New Ross United Baptist
Church with reception to follow at the New Ross Legion. Rev. Rick
Small officiating.
A
special thank you to Dr. Greg Thibodeau and the 4th Floor nursing
staff at the South Shore Regional Hospital. Karl so enjoyed your
companionship and compassionate care these last few
months.
We
request you not send flowers and instead donate in Karl’s
name to either the Parkinson’s Society of Nova Scotia or the
Canadian Cancer Society. Funeral
arrangements have been entrusted to the
White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. On-line
condolences and inquiries may be directed to www.whitefamilyfuneralhome.com.
