Christian Biography of Vernon H. Kimminau

Vernon Herman Kimminau, the son of George and Hilda (Brockman) Kimminau, was born on December 25, 1932 near Mount Clare, Nebraska. He passed away on February 7, 2021 at the Parkview Haven Nursing Home at Deshler, Nebraska at the age of 88 years, 1 months, 13 days.

Vern attended the St. Stephens Catholic School and was a member of the St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Superior since 1967. In 1957 he was united in marriage to Patricia Ann Drudik at Lawrence, Nebraska and to this union six children were born. Vern was enlisted into the United State Army. For a short time just after he was married, He and Pat moved to Colorado for about a year and then returned to the Lawrence area where he farmed until moving to Superior, Nebraska in 1967.  Together, He and Pat owned and operated Pat and Vern's Bar and Tavern – birthplace of the infamous "Sauerkraut Pizza". For many years Vern worked for the US Postal Service where he delivered mail in the area on his rural route.

Vern was dedicated to these passions which include:   Family; Fun with friends within the community; visiting with everyone ; anything to do with Sports; Hunting; Fishing; and Polka Music.  We most often referred to Vern as "ornery", which truly described how he led his life, with humor and fun.    His outgoing personality and friendly wave will be missed.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
