Bernard (Bernie) John Wesenick , 83, Wausau, died February 23, 2023 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital with his wife by his side. He was born January 20, 1940, son of the late Albert and Seline (Isaacson) Wesenick. On August 24, 1963 he married his true love Gladys Fletcher. This year they would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.

Bernie was a kind, loving man. He rarely spoke a negative word about others. He was a hard worker and was a long time employee of Wausau Homes. He loved the outdoors, whether fishing, bird hunting, cutting wood, family bonfires, or just enjoying the fresh air. He was a quintessential handyman, fixing up his families homes and helping his children with countless home projects. He enjoyed reading, watching 'his' birds, and playing Rummy 500, farkle, Scrabble and upWords with his family. He absolutely adored his two grandchildren and always kept a pocket full of treats for them.

He is survived by his wife, Glady, and their children; Becky (Rik) Tabaka, Wausau, Lisa Wesenick, Wausau, David Wesenick, Park Falls, and Daniel (Marta) Wesenick (New London), and two grandchildren, Henry and Lila Wesenick; siblings Sylvia Herzog, Marjorie Hollman, Evelyn (Bob) Kurth, and Shirley (Lyle) Krueger; sister-in-law Diane Wesenick; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and his brothers Edward and Alfred "Fritz" Wesenick.

Bernie's family wishes to thank Aspirus Wausau Hospital and Hospice staff for the compassionate care given to Bernie during his final days.

In lieu of services at this time, a Life Celebration will be held in the future.
