In Memoriam.ca - Always in our hearts

    "I wasn't friends with Karin for very long before I was introduced to the Doc. In those days we used to meet in the apartment in Gravenhurst. I think the thing that sticks with me most is the acceptance and hospitality of Dr. Euler. Something his wonderful kids also posses. The ability to make his home yours. He always took time to have a quick chat, or to inspect our ears after a particularly gruelling day of water skiing behind the relic (i.e. lots of wipe-outs), when he would pronounce "you keep a clean house lady!" He always greeted us with his "hey kiddo" and made his house and his belongings ours. I never felt like I was imposing. His wonderful ease around us as awkward teenagers remains with me to this day, something I hope to emulate with my own kids. I know it's so hard to say goodbye to your Dad, and my heart goes out to you Karin,my dearest friend, and sister Kathy and brother Karl. .Lots of love to you all. xo"

    "Karl Euler taught me to waterski during the summer of 1968, he on one rope behind the boat and me on the other -- and remember the Picton ski hill on Macaulay Mountain? Dr. Euler made that happen too, during the 1970's. Karl Euler embodies the best of the County way of doing things. Consummate care and concern for others (2 and 4 legged), a man of action, larger than life persona, striving to do his best, be his best, reminding and challenging others to never, ever give up. Thanks, Dr. Euler, for helping to launch a grade 8 kid on her way. To this day, I love to waterski, ski on snow and strive to live every moment to the fullest, just like you showed us. The memory of Karl Euler is a blessing."

    "Doc Euler was a man that knew how to do things. He was a worker with skilled hands, a sharp mind and the emotional strength to dedicate himself to doing good things for people every day. His practical skills were exceptional. He was a man that could get a horse to sit calmly while he put a hundred stitches in its lips and nose. The modern world could learn a lot from Doc. Doc Euler lived in the world as he made it. He ran the company he started and rode around the lake in the boat he built with his buddies. Karl was comfortable with who he was. He was his own boss. Karl was a man with modest needs. He didn't take a lot for himself. He spent his whole life doing for others. I had the chance to know Doc Euler. He spoke a language of sense and reason that I very much enjoyed. It was my privilege, to have Karl explain to me how he saw the world while we sat by the lake. He wasn't a big talker and he was usually working so for me it was very special opportunity. Doc was smart. He took care of business. He may be gone but he will be doing good things for a very long time to come. I think Karl is proud of his life and he will watch from heaven with a smile as he continues his work. The people he loves will feel him in their lives every day. I still feel you Doc. "
