						Obituary
						
						
						Vernon C. Berndt, 
						85, of Mount Joy, PA, formally of Mahwah, NJ, died 
						Friday, July 8, 2022 at Lancaster General Hospital, 
						after a brief illness. 
						
						
						Born in St. Joseph, 
						MI, he was the son of the late Franklin and Frances 
						(Nimitz) Berndt. He was the loving husband of Judith A. 
						Logan, and the late Mildred Berndt (2000). 
						
						
						Vernon was a civil 
						engineer who retired as the manager of the materials 
						division after 30 years with the Port Authority of New 
						York & New Jersey (1967-1997). He was a member, and 
						choir member of St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 
						Lancaster PA. Vernon spent over 30 years in Mahwah, NJ, 
						where he raised his children with his wife Millie and 
						where he was a proud member of the Holy Cross Lutheran 
						Church. He enjoyed landscaping and gardening, and 
						volunteered his expertise to family, neighbors and 
						church. In earlier years on a typical Saturday, he and 
						his son Jon could be found caring for the church grounds 
						in addition to his own. He was an avid golfer, who 
						recorded 2 “holes in one”. 
						
						
						He loved spending 
						time with friends and family, but his greatest pleasure 
						was the time with his grandchildren. Surviving in 
						addition to his wife Judy is his daughter Diane 
						Livingston and four grandchildren, Brittany, Ashley, 
						Kyle, and Natalie; and his daughter in-law, Cyndi 
						Berndt. In addition to his parents and first wife, he 
						was preceded in death by his son Jonathan (2021).
