He was born December 1, 1941, in Fruita, Colorado to Elsie Leota and Simon LaVerne Holzer. Bernie was the youngest of five and grew up in Grand Junction, CO.

They married shortly after he graduated from Grand Junction High School, in 1960. He worked at several different warehouses in the area. He often spoke about wearing roller skates to get around more efficiently. What started as vacationing with family, ended with a move to Arizona in 1970. Bernie worked for Amfac Electric Supply as an electrical salesman. He continued to work in electrical sales, retiring in 2021. He was a member of Grace Bible Church, where ushered for many years. He had a great group of loving friends at church, and they had a standing dinner date every Friday. Bernie loved to camp! He camped all over Arizona and drove his 5th-wheel trailer up and down the West Coast. Two years ago he purchased a small property in Show Low, AZ. This was another area that he and Janet had visited regularly. He would fish, watch for wildlife and enjoy the beautiful scenery. He also felt at home with the small church he attended in Show Low.
