Bernard Clarence Brooker
July 4, 1935 — August 26, 2020
Bernard's life was a life well lived. He loved spending time with his growing family, farming his family's land, playing cards, horseshoes and bowling. He was a devout Catholic and spent countless hours in service to Our Lady of Mercy parish and served his country in the United States Army. Along with his wife, he owned Buzzard's Bar for 43 years serving his faithful customers the best pizza, burgers and bologna sandwiches around (and maybe a few insults to go with them). He meant a great deal to the Lowell community and provided many friends and their families meaningful memories in his establishment.
He is survived by his wife Julia of 57 years, 6 children Connie (Jim) Legraen, Brenda (Ron) Bauerbach, Mark (Jennifer Miller) Brooker, Jean (Bob Hoops) Henderson, Nancy (Rick) Schultheis, Kelly (Ed) Scocco, 20 grandchildren Karlee, Garrett, and Seth Legraen, Astacia (Ivan) Huck, Janna King, Ally and Emma Brooker, D.J. (Ashleigh), Jesse, and Erin Cunningham, Paige (Dominick) Omspach, Olivia (Dakoda) Sims, Drew, Sophia, Ross, Kate and Ashton Schultheis, Myles, Brooker, and Julianna Scocco, 5 great grandchildren, Raylynn, Jack and Hallie Cunningham, Slade Huck and Draven Young, 8 siblings Hilda Gebhart, Louis (Ruth) Brooker, Rita (Sonny) Offenberger, Bertha (Delbert) Lasure, Bob Brooker, Howard Brooker, Dave (Doris) Brooker, Fred (Ethel) Brooker and many nieces, nephews, step grandchildren and step great grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents, brothers Tony and Raymond Brooker, infant brother, Edward, several brothers and sisters-in-law, and one great grandson Axel Huck.
The family wishes to thank the Muskingum Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation staff for their dedicated care in his last days.
