LORENZEN -- Bernhardt Robert Lorenzen, beloved husband, father, and grandfather and cherished brother and uncle, passed away on the morning of December 2, 2005 at Vista Care Hospice in Albuquerque, NM. Bernhardt was born in the farming community of Gilmore City, IA. During his youth, his family moved to Chicago, IL, where he attended high school and took college-level courses at the YMCA. Later, a scholarship enabled him to attend the University Wisconsin in Madison for two years. Eventually, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Armour Institute (now Illinois Institute of Technology) and worked in a variety of jobs. The rigors of WWII drew Bernhardt to both Dallas/Fort Worth and then San Diego, where he contributed to the U.S. war effort working in military aircraft manufacturing facilities. Afterwards, he worked with Foster /Wheeler Corp., building an oil refinery in Colombia, S.A. In Bogota', he met and married his wife Mercedes. Following a year in Houston, TX, the couple moved with their baby daughter to Albuquerque, NM, when Bernhardt accepted employment with Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). After 23 years working in Plant Engineering, he retired from SNL in 1977. Bernhardt participated with his sons in the YMCA Indian Guides and served as a volunteer usher for UNM basketball games for many years. Bernhardt's family and friends will recall him as an avid reader, pursuing an eclectic array of subjects with an emphasis on science. His life-long love of classical music found confirmation in the Santa Fe Opera, where he was a season ticket holder for nearly 47 years. Throughout his life, Bernhardt was an example of strength and propriety. He lived his philosophy of conservation, using his knowledge to repair and preserve the world around himself. This way of life was never more evident than in his meticulous efforts to restore the first car he ever owned, a 1941 Graham Paige. Bernhardt is survived by his wife of 53 years, Mercedes; his daughter, Melissa Hilleary and her husband, Christopher Hilleary of Albuquerque, NM; his son, Lorenz Lorenzen and his wife, Colleen Lorenzen of Towson, MD; and his son, Andrew Lorenzen of Albuquerque, NM; his sister, Ellen Buckley of Chandler, AZ; his grandchildren, Sean Hilleary, Claire Hilleary, Alexander Lorenzen, Malcolm Lorenzen, Jerika Lorenzen, and Jheridan Lorenzen; as well as by his nephew, Douglas Buckley and his wife, Linda, of Tempe, AZ; and his niece, JoEllen Orescanin and her husband, Donald Orescanin of Fairfield, CA.
