Sing, Karl – passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on January 8 2025, of cancer and congestive heart failure. He was 92 years old. Survived by Veronika, his wife of 64 years, sons Roland (Teresa), Peter (Darlene), daughter Christine (Dave), grandchildren Stefan (Jodie), Francesca (Jamie), Danielle, Brianne (Todd), Heather (Gustavo), Michael (Faith) and James. Also survived by his twin brother Josef (Elfrieda) in Dillingen/Donau, Germany, along with many nieces and nephews there.
Karl was born and raised in Dillingen, apprenticed as a hair dresser in Switzerland, and emigrated to Canada in 1958. He established his own hair salon in Richmond Hill. Karl’s Beauty Salon was in operation from 1965 to 1973 and had many loyal customers. He owned Michael’s Cards and Gifts from 1973 to 1975, and then became a transit operator, first with Markham Transit and then with the TTC. Karl took up oil painting as a hobby and many of his creations hang in our family homes.
He and Veronika were excellent gardeners in their spare time, winning second place in the Richmond Hill “Rose Award” garden competition in 1976. He retired after 20 years of service with the TTC. In retirement he was an avid traveler, wintering in Florida and taking yearly trips back home to Germany and other places in Europe. He also served as a director and president of his condo board from 2005 to 2015.
Many thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at the palliative care unit of Mackenzie Health Richmond Hill for their excellent care in his final days.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Karl’s memory to the Mackenzie Health Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society, or the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
A Private Cremation has already taken place.
