CARRABASSETT – Karl D. Krieger, 69, of Carrabassett, died of natural causes, Saturday, March 29, at his home.

He was born April 26, 1938, in Augusta, the son of Lewis and Noella (Cox) Krieger. He received his education in Augusta schools and was a graduate of Cony High School.

He was employed by Salter Corporation in Augusta as a supervisor and worked on the building of Maine Yankee and most of the hydro projects in the state. He later started his own business, Three Rivers Construction, with his partners.

He was the only full-time American instructor at the Werners Rothbacker Ski School, dominated by Austrians. He was certainly one of the original “Sugarloafers.”

He was also a master Maine guide and guided for King and Bartlett Fish and Game Club for many years. He was an active member of the Arnold Trail Snowmobile Club and operated a groomer for the club for many years.

He lived in Carrabassett for most of his life and considered it his home. He will be missed.

Survivors include his brother and sister-in-law, Lewis and Darlene Krieger of Farmingdale; and two nieces.
