Sympathy

Bernie Kunkel… Our thoughts are with the Kunkel family. Bernie passed peacefully from this earth on June 20 at his home, the Mapleton Community Home. He was a past president of the MEA Board of Directors, father of MEA members: Mike Kunkel (Kunkel Electric), and Joe Kunkel (NU Electric Company), grandfather of MEA members: Jeff Kunkel (Kunkel Electric) and Tim Kunkel (Tim Kunkel Electric). "Grandpa told us lots of stories about his time with the MEA and the people he met through the association. He especially enjoyed the fishing trips."
