Bernard "Smiley" Urbanowski

April 20, 1936 — December 10, 2021

Bernard "Smiley" Urbanowski, 85, of Pewaukee, went to dance in the sky with the love of his life on Friday, December 10th, 2021. His beautiful wife of 61 years, Joyce (Zarnoth) Urbanowski passed away January of this year and Bernie spent the last eleven months wanting to "go home" to her. He has been battling Dementia for over three years and spent the last eight months at Legacy Assisted Living in Pewaukee where he passed away peacefully.

Bernie is survived by two sons: Dean (Michelle) & Mark (Elizabeth); seven grandchildren: Bruce "Boomer", Jeremy (Noel), Michael, John, Alex, Brandon & Abby and four great grandchildren: Charlee, Connor, Preslee and Colin. Bernie was predeceased by his daughter, Jan.

Bernie fixed appliances for over fifty years and owned Appliance N More, Mail N More, Microwave Ovens LTD & The Fix it Store. Words he lived by: "You don't stop laughing & smiling because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing and smiling". He definitely loved to make people smile and it was hard not to laugh at all the crazy things he said or did. He was young at heart and will be greatly missed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S852_w1-wnw
