Bio
SK3 UNITED STATES NAVY VIETNAM John was born to Carl and Luella Bernadt in Pawnee City, he grew up in rural southeast Nebraska. John was married for 54 years to his devoted wife, Clara L. Bernadt. He retired from the BNSF in 1999 after 34 years of working in Lincoln, Minnesota, Wyoming, and Kansas. His generosity and spirit shined through his selfless commitment to helping others. Friends, family, and strangers alike all benefited from his capacity for fixing anything and his desire and appreciation for hard work. If there’s a person alive who could work harder and extract as much pleasure out of a full day’s work, we haven’t met them. His passions included God, the Cornhuskers, guns, cold beer, tools, machines, trees, gardening, and anything he could nurture and grow. But nothing meant more to him than his two true loves: His country and his family. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1961-1964, participating in the naval blockade during the Cubin Missile Crisis and standing as an Honor Guard on the USS Norris for President Kennedy’s funeral. He loved the USA with a depth and sincerity rarely matched. He recognized the greatness of his beloved country and would give anything for its continued liberty, prosperity, and security. He respectfully flew our sacred Old Glory every place he lived which made his heart swell with pride. Surivived by: Wife: Clara Sons: Troy A. (Melissa)Bernadt, Kyle C. (Tonya) Bernadt, and Kevin J.
