The Woodland Daily Democrat
Bernard, Walter Allen    
 
Walter Allen Bernard of Sacramento, born July 20, 1915. At age 90, our loving 
husband and father passed away on Jan. 30, 2006 of complications relating to a 
fall. He is survived by his loving wife Lena; his sons Michael and his life 
partner Karen Fleming, of Windsor, and Steven and his wife Leilani, of 
Valencia. Many cousins, nieces and nephews spread across the western United 
States and Alaska, will also miss him dearly. Born in Woodland Walter grew up 
and attended school there, excelling in track and graduating Woodland High in 
1934. He served in the Air Force during WWII, piloting gliders over France, 
Italy and Germany during the Allied advance. He was wounded during his 
service, but was able to return to Sacramento where he met and married Lena. 
Happily married for 56 years, they lived and raised their sons in Sacramento, 
while Walter worked for Golden State Dairy, later Foremost Dairies, as a 
wholesale route driver. After retiring in 1980, Walter took to two of his 
favorite passions, working in his garden and baking, and is fondly remembered 
by many for his pies, cakes, cookies and candies. He was a long-time member of 
Fremont Presbyterian Church, where he served in various roles and contributed 
greatly of his time. He was also a devoted neighbor and friend to many in the 
River Park area. He was a tireless supporter of the Sacramento Blood Bank and 
a passionate contributor to Loaves and Fishes. All who had the opportunity to 
know and love him will miss our father. The old home will not be the same 
without him and his ready offer of a bite of something just out of the oven. 
At his request, no services will be held. The family requests that, in lieu of 
flowers, donations be made to Loaves and Fishes in Sacramento.
