Bernard married the love of his life, Caroline (Carrie) A. (Lager) on May 6, 1961, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Maryville, Missouri. They raised their five children on the centennial family farm in rural King City until they moved to "town" in 1988.
Bernard was a lifelong farmer and stockman. As a lifelong member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Ford City, Missouri, his faith created a strong example for his family.

Support of his children was important to him and he participated in many of their activities, especially the Future Homemakers of America, Booster Club and 4-H. His chosen seat at all athletic events was the top row of the bleachers.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, John and Gerald; his sisters, Marjorie Derks and Mary Ann Willis, and brothers-in-law, Leo Derks and Don Willis.
