Bert Junior Sankey, the son of Bert and Clara (Warmbier) Sankey, was born on August 14, 1928, in rural Kossuth County. He attended country schools and graduated from the Algona High School. After graduation, Bert went to Coe College where he lettered in football. In July of 1948, Bert enlisted in the Navy Air Corps and was stationed in Memphis, Tennessee. On December 28, 1948, he married Violet Hassebrock at the Kamrar Presbyterian Church. The couple was transferred to Alameda, California until 1951 when Bert finished his hitch with the Navy. They lived in Algona, Humboldt and Renwick while Bert worked at many implement dealerships. The couple moved to Britt in 1961, where he continued working at the implement dealership. In the mid-1960s, Bert worked in Titonka with his brother-in-law at Schmidt Plumbing where he learned the trade. He opened Sankey Plumbing and Heating in the late 1960s in Britt, later selling it to Chuck Conway. Bert opened Sankey Oil in Britt in 1971, which he owned and operated until his retirement. Bert took care of a lot of people throughout his life. Not only the customers he served but also his children, grandchildren, his wife whom he loved very much and his beloved dog, Daisy. He was a member of the Masons and Am Vets.
Bert is survived by his wife, Violet; two sons, Michael Sankey and his wife, Karen of Algona and William Sankey and his wife, Vicky of Forest City; five grandchildren, Robert Sankey, Joshua Sankey and his wife, Diana, Jenna (Sankey) Gaskill and her husband, Scott, William K.
