Lambert M. “Bert” Kluzik, age 87, of Winona, passed away on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, at the Winona Health Hospital.
He was born on February 4, 1936, in Winona, and was the last surviving child of Martin and Verna (Janikowski) Kluzik. Bert was united in marriage with Judith “Judy” Senstad on March 26, 1955, in Winona, and she preceded him in death on March 8, 2006.
