"Pops, you were a caring, loving mentor as well as my best friend, father and grandfather, Love ya, Rick" / "We will all miss you!"
Karl G Mounteer beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle passed away July 12, 2012 at the age of 76 surrounded by his loving family. Karl put up a valiant fight against three separate forms of cancer; he never complained of his horrific pain that he consistently endured.

Karl was a motor home enthusiast and with his family visited all 50 states including Canada and Mexico. He had a passion for hunting, fishing, boating and was also an extraordinary craftsman. He designed and built many of his own ideas.
Karl was an honorable man who never said unkind words about anyone.
Survived by his son, Rick Mounteer (Sherri); sisters, Sherlyn Beatty (Lee), Georga Mounteer, Kathy Hancey (Ken); brothers, Bruce Solomon (Dorothy), and Gordon Solomon (June). He had 6 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren that were the highlight of his life.
