Bernard Gene Haake
February 17, 1932 to December 30th, 2020

We Love You

Bernard was the founder and creator of Skunkie Acres, Inc, an Educational 501(c)(3) not for profit Animal Park ,No Kill Animal Rescue , and Wildlife Rehab in Citra, Florida.
As a young man he spent his summers driving a concrete truck in Joliet, Illinois for Newkirk's Concrete Company,
Newkirk's would call for Bernie when the excavations were too close because he was the only driver that would do it.
In the winter months he would pick up the milk cans from the dairy farms and deliver them to the warehouse and when finished would drive a fuel truck and deliver home heating oil ..
He worked in construction, becoming a foreman and eventually started his own construction company, Haake Builders in Joliet Illinois. He built many fine homes.
Bernard later operated the concessions and amusements in Pioneer Park in Aurora Illinois and Pilcher Park in Joliet, Illinois. He loved making children happy.
Bernard loved Baseball and had his own team , He had 2 letters from the Chicago White Sox wanting him to try out because of his pitching skills. He had a mean curve ball.
He also loved to box and had won 2 Golden Gloves. He never lost a match.
Bernard and Barbara were wed in 1983 and moved from Joliet , Illinois to Florida where they were owners/operators of family run amusement rides and games for church events..
Bernard retired to White Springs, Florida where Bernard started Skunkie Acres Animal park and No Kill Animal Rescue. They became a 501(c)(3) in 2007.
There were always teens that would come out to volunteer at Skunkie Acres and they learned that there was more to life than computer games and television. These teens learned how to care for animals and also learned how to ride horses.
Skunkie Acres relocated to Citra, Florida in 2014
If you ever needed to find Bernie all you had to do was to follow the crowd of animals which always surrounded him. The animals miss him dearly.
Above all Bernard always cared for his children and made sure they needed nothing. Family was always a priority. . Children were always first. He would have happily given his life if needed without any question for any of his children.
Bernie had a big heart. There were many times that we had extra plates at the table for travelers that were broke down, especially over the holidays, and he helped them get back on the road again.
He will be terribly missed by all who knew and loved him. He will also be missed by Bill William, the head skunk and the skunk family of Skunkie Acres.
As a note for some of his older Children not part of his immediate family , Bernie wanted you to know that he forgives you.

UPDATE ON SKUNKIE PUPPIES

We are very blessed to have them back in our family. We thank everyone out there for the tremendous support we received.
God Bless all of you and all the little critters.
We hope everyone out there will have a very Merry Christmas as we certainly will, and we say a special prayer for the little critters that are lost and hope they will be returned to their families so they also can have a very Merry Christmas.

🇺🇸 ANOTHER GRIPE FROM A VERY SENIOR CITIZEN.
What is going on with this beautiful country? We have people trying to remove the history of our country.
I 'm not arguing if it's good or bad, it is still the history of our country. The history was made by our great and great great grandparents and we should be civilized enough to learn from it and not destroy it.
Life is not just about the good things that happen but also about things we may not like.
Christ was nailed on the cross. Should we tear down all the crosses, and pretend it never happened? Or should we accept the past as it did happen and try to change so it never happens again. You cannot change the past by pretending it never happened and destroying all the pieces of it.
I have worked 12 and 16 hours a day for the better part of my 88 years and I have lived the American Dream just by being free and being able to express my thoughts without rioting, looting, and burning other peoples American Dream.
Tell some of these rioters to get off of their asses and work for their family, county and dreams. They may not have as much time to feel sorry for themselves.
Who in the hell do some of these people think they are by saying they are using peaceful marches when alot of them are just out to steal and destroy because they woke up one morning and found that if they want to eat and actually live the American Dream they have to get off their asses and go to work for it.
This is written by myself as a senior citizen extremely concerned about thr future of my grandchildren and their way of life. .
We all must speak up for what we believe to make it a reality, not loot and destroy.
My prayers are with this beautiful country and I pray to God these radicals in our country never expand to be the majority.
Wake up Americans there our forces trying to destroy us.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND KEEP AMERICA GREAT.

HEY.....WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!
I am an 88 year old American Citizen and I have never seen anything so ridiculous then what's going on in this country.
I can't believe there are adults that are actually saying
"Get Rid of Police".
Who in the hell is going to protect our Citizens lives if we don't have a Police Department!
I can't imagine how people can be so stupid and to actually be serious about such a stupid demand.
I am also getting tired of Fox News giving all this publicity to these stupid marchers marching on our streets. If there was not a Police Department they'd be marching on dirt backroads.
Watch what the hell you wish for and leave the Police the hell alone.
Just an opinion of a normal American Citizen.
Black Lives Matter, so do Police Lives Matter,
And White Lives,
And Brown Lives,
And Yellow Lifes,
ALL LIFES MATTER!!
Let's stop being so Stupid and Enjoy the Best Country in the World.
If you agree with this like and pass it on.
