I enjoyed working for the Zarders for 6 years. Mr. Zarder taught me about having a strong work ethic and though he was a stern man, he made me laugh on many occasions. I on the other hand , drove him crazy, but he always had a soft spot for me.I will always have great memories of Zarders and the friends I made.My condolences to Mrs. Zarder , Mrs. Pingel and family. Cheryl Theigs would agree. God's blessings Kathi Tackman Boziel

The first snow of winter signaled a trip to Zarder's to see the Christmas lights that surrounded the entryway to the New Berlin restaurant. ...
