Bernard "Bernie" Pierre

Bernard “Bernie” Pierre, 86, Allouez, passed away on Tuesday, January 2, 2018. The son of the late Arthur and Lena (Gerondale) Pierre was born January 4, 1931 in Brussels. He married Dolores Franda on October 4, 1950 in Maplewood. Many who knew Bernie could tell you that you didn’t leave his home without having something to eat. Bernie loved working in the yard, which was a source of great pride for him. He retired after a successful career with Foxland Harvestore Sales. Since he started his career working at a meat packing plant, it was fitting that he worked as a meat inspector part-time after retirement. Survivors include his wife, Dolores; children: Dan (Denise) Pierre; Kay (the late Ed) Palka; Bill (Diane) Pierre; Gail (Steve) Clayton; Mary (Mike) Delvaux; 17 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; sibilings: Elaine ( the late Lloyd) Guilette; Claudette (the late Paul) Mirkes and Phil (Judy) Pierre. In addition to his son-in-law Ed, Bernie was preceded in death by his siblings: Angie (Vincent) Gilson, Margaret (Roger) Miller, Ella Mae (Herman) Vandertie and Gloria (Richard) Vandermause. Family and friends may visit at Resurrection Catholic Church, 333 Hilltop Dr, Allouez, on Sunday, January 7 from 3:00pm until 6:00pm with a Parish Wake Service at 6:00pm. Visitation will continue at the church on Monday, from 9:30am until 10:15am. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:30am. Entombment will be at the Shrine of the Good Shepherd Mausoleum.
