Bio
I asked Vernon what his middle name was? His reply was that at the time of his confirmation the nuns requested it. Vernon had talked to his parents, but they didn't provide an answer. When the nuns asked again, Vernon took his father's first name since most of the other boys in class were supplying their father's first name. 2022 © Wintz Funeral Home Online; Hartington, Nebraska; Sunday, February 6, 2022 Vernon Herman was born on August 13, 1927 to Herman and Johanna (Fuchs) Sudbeck in Bow Valley, NE. He attended grade school in Bow Valley, NE and graduated from Holy Trinity High School in 1946. He had a love for flying since a child. His senior year he would skip school to start taking flying lessons in Yankton, SD. After graduating, his first job was working for Hank Becker as a hired hand. The next year he worked for Mac and Julie Becker in the Devils Nest area where they owned 3000 acres. The Becker's purchased a TD14 Caterpillar which also included a 140 Cessna airplane with the deal. They paid for his pilot's license and sent him on business trips buying big farm equipment which was pulled by the TD14 caterpillar. They welded 2-4 row planters together and also 315 T John Deere disks. His trips ranged from Parrington, Texas to Fargo, ND. On August 17, 1948 he married Bonnie Jaeger in Bow Valley, Nebraska. He continued to work for the Becker's in Devils Nest and this would be the location of their first home. In 1952 they purchased a farm west of Hartington near Pleasant Valley. Vernon retired in 1993. During his retirement he refinished six airplanes which consisted of Taylor Crafts, Piper Pacers, J-3 Cup and Stinson. In 2007 he and Bonnie moved into Hartington. They raised four children, Karen, David, Diane, and Brenda.
