Bernhard Ziervogel Obituary
Barney was born April 28, 1940, in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin to the late Barney and Agnes (Heger) Ziervogel. He graduated from Oconomowoc High School in 1958 and joined the U.S. Army in 1963. While stationed in Aberdeen, Maryland, he met Shirley Wright. They married December 1965.
Barney was employed as a carpenter with the Baltimore Carpenters Union. He worked for various local companies and spent 20+ years with Kimball Construction Company in White Marsh, Md., until his retirement in 2002.
Barney displayed a lifelong commitment to God, family, country, and the Green Bay Packers (not necessarily in that order).
He is survived by his wife, Shirley; his children, Gary (Erica), Troy (Jennifer), and Sheri (Andrew); his grandchildren, Zachery (Hope), Logan, Gilen, Benjamin, Naomi, Courtney, Andrew, Jake and Grant; and his great-grandchild, Kara. He was brother to Ruth Schwartz, Joanne Krogmann, Suzy LaPin, Bill Ziervogel, and the late Janet Borleske and Lorraine Hazard.
A video of the private memorial service will be posted Dec 20 after 2 p.m. at www.facebook.com/UnionUMCNottinghamPA. A private interment will be held at Garrison Forest Veterans Cemetery on December 21st. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Barney's church at www.unionumcfremont.com.

I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT BARNIE PASSING AWAY ON DECEMBER 15. BARNIE WAS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS. I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR 32 YEARS. HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS AND WOULD GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP ANYBODY. HE AND I WOULD GET TOGETHER ONCE A MONTH FOR LUNCH. I CAN NOT DRIVE BUT BARNEY WOULD ALWAYS COME AND PICK ME UP IN HIS TRUCK. HE WILL BE MISSED. I KNOW HE LOVED HIS GREEN BAY PACKERS. THEY HAVE A GOOD TEAM THIS YEAR, SO MAYBE THEY WILL WIN THE SUPPER BOW

Barney will be so missed. Such a wonderful man. Barney was always the life of the party at the Elkton Senior Center. It will not be the same without him.
