Obituary for Charles E. "Chuck" Bernarde
Charles “Chuck” E. Bernarde, age 77, of Hartford Wisconsin passed away Friday, August 5, 2022 at his home. He was born on April 16, 1945 in Milwaukee to the late Theodore and Delores (nee Schmidt) Bernarde. Chuck attended St. Nazarene Seminary for 2 years before graduating from Menomonee Falls high. On June 3rd, 1967 he married Mardell “Mardi” (nee Heppe). He was a builder in the West Bend area and a Member of the West Bend Builders Association.
Chuck was a loyal and loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. His family was everything to him. He was an avid hunter, enjoyed fishing and golfing with his family and friends. He loved to joke. He was known for christening everyone with a new nickname and used it from that day forward!
