KARL HEINRICH CHITTKA
Karl Chittka passed away
peacefully at Markdale Hospital on
Tuesday, June 25, 2019, in his 87th
year after a very happy and
fulfilling life.
Karl’s greatest passion in life was
his family. He was a devoted
husband of Lisa (2002) whom he
cherished; dedicated father of
Robert (Te André) and Michael
(1989) both of whom he adored;
and caring grandfather of Andrew,
Brian, and Becky, all of whom he
loved deeply.
A man with a strong work ethic
and even stronger conviction, he
will be fondly remembered by his
family, as well as those who knew
him from his advocacy on behalf of
farmers, both in local politics and
through the Egremont Proton
Federation and Grey County
Federation of Agriculture.
He will also be remembered for
his volunteer work with the Home
and Community Support Services
of Grey Bruce and local public
speaking events for youths.
At Karl’s request he will be
reunited with his sweetheart Lisa in
a private ceremony. In lieu of
flowers, donations to the Egremont
Proton Federation of Agriculture or
Dundalk Agricultural Society
would be appreciated.

Over its 79-year history Grey Federation of Agriculture has been lucky
enough to have dedicated directors join the board and who have
represented the board actively for many years.
Karl Chittka was one of those directors who spent many years
advocating for the farmers in Grey County. He was very passionate about
agriculture and anyone who had the chance to meet Karl would know his
thoughts and beliefs on many important issues. We were saddened to
learn of his passing and wanted to share with you his obituary as posted
by McMillan and Jack Funeral Home in Dundalk.
