Guenter was born September 12, 1942, in Giessen, Hessen, Germany.

On Sunday mornings, he regularly enjoyed the F1 series in Motorsports with friends. Guenter was an avid outdoorsman and conservationist, with many adventures throughout Ontario at hunt camps.

Guenter raised his family in and around the Midland/ Ontario area, where he made new long lasting friendships. He was well travelled and had made many friends throughout the world, while always remembering his heritage of his family and friends in Germany.
