Delvin Wayne Bunke

PRESTON, MINNDelvin W. Bunke, 85, of Preston, MN died Wednesday, December 10, 2014 at Mayo Clinic - St' Mary's CampusDelvin was a tolerant man of perseverance born a month before the great depression. He asked little of the world. He was a man of few words who didn't see the need for idle conversation. Words were to be used sparingly... the fewer the better. You knew where you stood with Delvin. More than anything he liked going to see the people and area where he grew up, no trip complete without seeing his life-long friend Verne Feine. Anticipation to do this really gave him something to look forward to. He would often say "don't miss". When he did so he was telling you that the time you were planning to spend together was important to him... a privilege not to be taken lightly; sincere, honest, and genuine.Delvin was a caring person and wanted to know about your family and where you lived. He would look forward to his monthly visits to see his sister Lorayne. Delvin enjoyed his trips to see the Twins games and going to the Lanesboro Sales Barn. Delvin rode all over the area on his three-wheeled bike checking up on everything. He even at an elderly age would ride his bike from Preston to the Old Barn (and back) to see what was going on. Delvin loved car rides especially during planting and harvest times, pointing out all the vehicles he liked on the way. He enjoyed going out to eat especially if there was a piece of pie for dessert. Delvin also enjoyed relaxing and watching TV, going through the newspapers and magazines.Delvin is survived by his sister, Lorayne Wernecke of Winona; nieces, Corrine (Ken) Michaels, Carolyn (David) Mehlhoff, and Cleone Lee; and his loving caregivers at Maple Leaf Services in Preston. Delvin will be laid to rest 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, December 16, 2014. at St. John's Cemetery in Hart Township.
