Obituary: Herman V. ‘Pete’ Tingle, 94, Bardstown

Herman V. “Pete” Tingle, 94, of Bardstown, died Friday, Oct. 28, 2022, at Signature of Bardstown. He was born Nov. 13, 1927, and grew up in Fairfield.

He retired from Buzick Lumber and Home Center, where he had worked for more than 35 years. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army. He was a very active member of the 3rd and 4th degrees of the Bardstown Knights of Columbus Council 1290. He was a member of St. Joseph parish and was instrumental in the formation of the Bereavement Committee and in the creation of the St. Vincent de Paul Mission Store. He served at 6:30pm Mass for many years.

He loved to work in his yard, and to go hunting with his dad and Bootsie and fishing with his good friends Arthur and R.M. He also enjoyed an annual hunting trip to Kansas with the Rogers family. He was a lifelong fan of the Cincinnati Reds. In his later years, he liked to sit in the swing in his front yard, that his friend Mike Johnston made for him, and watch the world go by.
