Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKARL SPROLL April 9, 1928 November 2, 2016 It is with sadness that we announce that Karl Sproll passed away in the early hours of Wednesday, November 2, 2016. Karl leaves to mourn his beloved wife of 62 years, Irene, his children Karl (Dianne), Ursula (Maurice), Barbara and Norman (Cathie), his grandchildren Karl (Dawn), Erik (Kristel), Ingrid (Somto), Erin (Dan), Adrienne (Tim), Justin (Marla), Nathan (Larissa) and Alexa, and 13 (soon to be 15) great-grandchildren. Karl is predeceased by his much loved daughter Katherine. Karl was born in Mittelbuch, Germany and immigrated to Winnipeg in 1953 where he met, fell in love and married Irene. He practiced excellence in his profession as a painter through hard work, integrity, determination and creativity. Karl was an artisan who crafted innumerable innovative functional home furnishings and pieces of art. His many talents included oil painting, woodworking, folk art and faux paint finishing. Karl enjoyed sharing his unique perspectives and vison of life with friends and family. His kindness was reflected in his special connection with children and animals. Above all Karl was a devoted family man. All that he did in life was for the wellbeing of his wife and children. Karl's greatest pride and happiness came from watching his family grow and flourish. We have been blessed to have Karl, our husband, father and Opa, as a guide and role model in our lives and he will be very much missed. Many thanks to the staff of Palliative Care at St. Boniface Hospital and Dr. Roy Smith.

I just now learned of Mr. Sproll's passing, my deepest sympathies to Mrs. Sproll and all the family. Your father and mother were always kind people who loved their children and grandchildren deeply. When Katherine passed it was so tragic but more painful to your parents than anyone else. Had I known, I would have attended his service to personally pass on my sympathies to all of you. Rest In Peace Mr. Sproll and say hello to Katherine when you meet up. Juliette Austin - Posted by: Juliette Austin (childhood friend of Katherine) on: Nov 15, 2016
