Bernie has nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Bernie had a passion for his work as a printer, being employed by Watkins Printing, then Crescent Printing in Onalaska, WI. He owned and operated the Zesto Drive Inn in Winona for over 20 years. During his spare time, Bernie enjoyed fishing with Dee, golfing with many of his friends, working on projects in his woodworking shop, and maintaining his yard. Bernie's passing will leave an enormous void for those who's lives he touched. He will be remembered as a strong, silent man with a wonderful sense of humor. He could light up a room with his smile and quick wit. He loved to sing the song "It's Hard To Be Humble" to his wife Dee. He was an inspiration to all in his demonstration of love to his wife, family, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents. There will be a Graveside Service held at 1:00pm on Sunday, June 14, 2009 at St. Mary's Cemetery in Winona, MN with Reverend Thomas Hargesheimer officiating.
