Condensed from the original
Bernard Sparks left his earthly family to join his Heavenly
Father and eternal family early on the morning of Father's Day and his 89th
birthday. Bernard was born 21 June 1931 to Albert Orson Sparks and Sarah Louetta
Dayton in Dingle Idaho.
He was drafted into the Korean War where he served as a Rifle Qualifications Trainer. Since many draftees had never shot a gun, his skill helped to preserve many lives. He was honorable discharged in 1952. He graduated Utah State University where he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 1961. He then began teaching school at Montpelier High School in the fall of 1965. Over the next three decades he taught many of the Bear Lake Valley's young men and women classes in wood shop, art, drafting and computer aided drafting.
Bernard married Vickie Jensen in 1966. Funeral services were held at his residence in Dingle, June 27 at 11 am. Interment was in the Dingle Cemetery.
