HARRIS ALLAN BERSING

     Harris Allan Bersing, 83, of Taylor, WI, passed away peacefully June 23, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was born Aug. 31, 1941, in Black River Falls, WI, the son of Menford and Harriet Bersing. Harris graduated from Taylor High School in 1959. After graduation, he worked for Sampson Heating & Air Conditioning. In May of 1978 he opened C&H Heating & Air Conditioning with Chuck Kastad, running the business for 20 years until he retired.

     Harris would meet the woman he would consider his “Loving Significant Other,” Shirley Zinn, on a chilly morning when she called for help when her furnace quit working. This is where he became a step-father to Shirley’s four children, taking on the role of a step-parent, sharing 55 wonderful great years as a family together. Harris was an avid fisherman, hunter, gardener, and griller, cooking the best sweet corn and chicken at all family functions.

     Harris is survived by his stepsons Eric (Shirl) Zinn and Alan Zinn; stepdaughters Gail O’Brien and Linda (Dick) Matti; grandchildren Amanda Olson, Jordan (Karine) Zinn, Jared Zinn, Dillion (Brooke) Zinn, Joleen Matti, Casey (Lisa) Matti, Anthony (Tracy) Matti, Richie O’Brien, Natasha O’Brien, Jason Zinn, Rachel (Scott) Miller, Jennifer Wagner, Sheila (Chris) Murray and Jason (Kelly) Spurlin; and a loving great-grandpa of 23 great-grandchildren;  nephews Steve (Randi) Bersing, David Bersing; nieces Karen (Curt) Burmeister, Sandy (Wayne) Quam and Gina (Rob) Nordness.

     Harris was preceded in death by his father, Menford Bersing; mother Harriet Bersing; brothers Orville Bersing and Vernon (Marilyn) Bersing.

     Harris was a kind and gentle man who touched the lives of many. He will be forever in our hearts.
