    "Dr. Euler started treating the animals on my family's Dairy farm when l was a teenager. He continued on as my trusted Vet when l grew up,had my own place, my own animals,through shots and spaying, injuries minor and major for more than 30 years. Dr. Euler's kind and common sense approach to animal care was always appreciated by my family. He was just a phone call away, and almost always answered the phone himself. He knew his patients and their owners, and didn't hesitate to help you/advise you over the phone until he could get there, or maybe he didn't need to come at all and you could handle it on your own. He was kind and caring when he helped you say good-bye to a friend. He helped me say good-bye to the pony l received when l was 5 yrs old, l had her for over 20 years, just about broke my heart, than about 25 years later he did the same with my children's pony. There was the time our cat was attacked by a fisher on the 23rd of Dec, our white cat was red, our small children were crying. Doc said bring him in, checked him over and quietly told me he didn't know if he would make it, but he would keep him there over Christmas, tell the kids not to worry we would deal with what needed doing after Christmas. We were a happy group when Doc called and told us to come get him and bring him home, l am sure there are many more people with similar stories out there. Serious issue or perhaps sometimes a foolish question, he always spoke to you in the same matter of fact but ever so kind manner. Over the years dogs and cats have come and gone, horses too, the common denominator was always Doc ! In 30 plus years he never once let us down when we needed him. l was so sad to hear of his passing. He was a good man, a trusted adviser and a Vet that truly put the needs of his patience first. He will be missed by all in my family and by the Muskoka community both two legged and four ! "

    "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. "

    "I did my high school co-op with Doc Euler, I wanted to be a vet tech and needed experience. Doc took me in an allowed me to do many things with him. He was as they said a man of little words but when he did speak it was always worth listening too. His had the dryest sense of humor that I have every heard, you sometimes had to think about the joke but couldn't help but chuckle. Dr Euler was part of helping me get to where I am today. Doc will be missed by many and loved by all. I will miss you Doc."

    "Karl was a good classmate and a room mate like no other. He was always in the midst of things and to find him you had only to go to where the crowd was gathered. He will be missed by many people in many different walks of life. "

    "So sorry to hear that a good friend and classmate has passed on but grateful that he did so peacefully. I have many fond memories of Karl but one stands out. In 1961, on their honey moon, Karl and Barb stopped for a visit with Joan and I in Ponoka, Alberta. My partner in practice and I ,almost immediately, loaded Karl up in our car and drove most of the night to go fishing in a northern Alberta lake. We fished all day and delivered Karl back to his bride who wasn't very happy to have been left alone for a night and a day on their honey moon. The good news is that Karl was the only one of the three of us to catch any fish. That, however, did not impress his new wife ! Joan and I offer our heartfelt condolences to Karl's family. I and the rest of his classmates in OVC '61 will certainly miss him. Sincerely, Bill Bulmer"
