Bernie was born May 17, 1943, in Mankato. He was the son of Bernard and Genevieve (Phillips) Lynch Sr. Bernie was a 1961 graduate of St. Clair High School. Following school, Bernie farmed with his father.
Bernie was united in marriage to Karen Tacheny on June 25, 1964, in Mankato. They moved to his grandfather's home place where they continued to farm and raise their two children, Brian and Julie.

Farming was Bernie's lifelong interest and he had no plans to retire.
Bernie was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in St. Clair. In earlier years, he enjoyed fishing up North and snowmobiling, with many snowmobile trips to Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. He thoroughly enjoyed teasing his grandchildren which was his way of showing them he loved them.
