Born on May 15, 1933, in Long Prairie, MN, to the late Rudolph "Rudy" and Emma (John) Biermaier, Jack grew up in Browerville, where he developed a strong work ethic and a love for the outdoors. After graduating from Browerville High School in 1951, he served honorably in the United States Navy until 1956. Jack married Doris Schroeder at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Clarissa and together they raised their four sons near Cushing, MN, building a life filled with love, laughter, and hard work. Jack had a varied career, working for C&L Nelson Black Topping, serving as a salesman for Grizzly Pole Barns, and dedicating 30 years to Hennepin Paper Company as an engineer in Little Falls. Even after retiring at 62, he continued to nurture beef cattle on their farm, demonstrating his lifelong commitment to agriculture and family. An avid outdoorsman, Jack enjoyed deer and duck hunting, fishing, and polka dancing with Doris.
