Hans (Junior) Bonnesen

October 26, 1940 - February 3, 2022

Hans (Junior) P. Bonnesen, 81 of Grand Island passed on Thursday, February 3, 2022. Celebration of Life Service will be 11 AM Tuesday at Peace Lutheran Church in the Sanctuary. Reverend Luke Biggs will officiate. Burial of ashes will be at a later date in Manning, Iowa. A gathering of family and friends will be from 4:30-6:30 PM Monday at All Faiths Funeral Home. Memorials are suggested to Peace Lutheran Church or the Nebraska Children’s Home Society of Omaha. Hans was born October 26, 1940 the son of Henry and Pearl Bonnesen in Manning, Iowa. He grew up on a farm near Templeton, Iowa. He received his education at Manning Public School where he was an outstanding athlete, holding school records in football for over 15 years. In 1959 he married Linda Warner at the Zion Lutheran Church in Manning, Iowa. They have been married for 62 years. Hans was a gentle, friendly outgoing man. As one person said he was quite a “cut-up”. He was always teasing and ready with a one-liner. Hans, a licensed barber, attended Barber College in both Des Moines, IA and Omaha, NE. He began working at the Neyhart Barber Shop in Grand Island in 1961. He also worked at Les’ Barber Shop purchasing the business in 1970. After 46 years as a barber, he retired in 2007. He was honored to be a licensed barber in Nebraska for over 50 years. He enjoyed spending time with his family and grandchildren. He was proud to be a grandpa and each day when he returned from work, he would call Wood River and ask to speak to Milayna McKinney (of course, she couldn’t talk yet). He also enjoyed watching auto racing and bull riding. He spent many hours gardening and taking care of his yard. Those preceding him in death were his parents, a brother, Robert who was killed in WWII and sister and brother-in-law, Mardel and Jack Fuller. Survivors include his wife, Linda; son and daughter-in-law, Douglas and Catherine Bonnesen of Kechi, KS; daughter and son-in-law, Holly and Michael Derr of Harvard, NE; grandchildren, Noah Bonnesen, Milayna McKinney, Kinzee Derr, Paden (Kailey) Derr; great grandchild, Ayden Derr; nephews, Robert Fuller and family of Runaway Bay, TX and Jack Fuller and family of Seward, NE.
