Nearly seventy years ago John Weinard started doing income tax returns for clients in the back of a drug store in South Minneapolis. After acquiring some experience and a very loyal clientele, Mr. Weinard established an office on 4th Street. After the construction of 35W took out his 4th Street office, he relocated to 1922 Clinton Avenue South.
In his first year out of college Mark Deziel trained as a preparer and was working for a firm called Mr. Tax. While doing a co-worker’s return at the laundromat next door, he learned that John Weinard was looking for help. Mark worked for John for the next 13 years.
In 1991 Mark opened Deziel’s Tax Service, renting space in a law office at 2620 Nicollet Avenue South. In 1998 John Weinard joined Mark Deziel at the Nicollet office.
After the Nicollet building was sold, we opened for three years in Calhoun Square. We moved furniture and equipment into storage and worked from home in the off season. This pattern functioned well for us and helped hold down operating expense.
In 2002 we moved to Rosedale Center continuing the same pattern of officing from home in the off season. After 17 successful years at Rosedale, they could not find space for us, so we have had to move.
Now we have found a new office for the tax season at Maplewood Mall. We have come to appreciate the friendly and exciting family atmosphere of the mall and hope to keep it our home for a long time.

some time in the late 1980’s.
John Weinard was born in August of 1916 and grew up with his family on Nicollet Island. John’s father made a living selling and installing wallpaper. John often recalled to me how his dad would go into the caves under the Island to fix the plumbing in their family house. John was impressed with how his father knew just where to go in the caves to find the right valves to shut off the water.
When John was twelve years old he was carried off by the current of the Mississippi river and nearly drowned. Though traumatic, it did not stop him from competitive swimming in college or from his favorite summer pastime: fishing.
John often recalled to me how his time in the CCC’s (Civilian Conservation Corp) were some of the best years of his life. He loved the hard work, discipline and energy. He learned to love nature and the camaraderie of the young men his own age. He also liked the way he could save the money that paid for his education at the U of M.
During WWII and even for a bit afterwards John, worked as a civilian in a U.S. airfield in Greenland. He married Margaret and they raised four children: John Jr., Susan, Bruce and Sandy. They lived in Philadelphia for a time, then Chicago,and finally resettled in the Minneapolis area. John built a successful career in bookkeeping and financial matters working for Grayco and culminating as, more or less, the CFO of Horton Manufacturing Co.
As a side business John began doing tax returns professionally. By taking a deep and genuine concern for each of his clients, John built a solidly loyal following of people from all walks of life. Stock brokers, policemen, factory workers, teachers, nurses, truck drivers, barbers, janitors, construction workers, pensioners, day laborers, you name it…even a lion trainer came to rely on John to do his or her return. As the south Minneapolis neighborhood diversified, and as we moved out to Calhoun Square, and then to Rosedale John prepared returns for people from all over the globe. Egyptians, Oromos, Laotians, Guatemalans, Indians, Mexicans and Tibetans asked for John or asked how he’s doing
On December 19, 2010, John Weinard passed away. He had been in hospice for a month prior and all of his children were able to see him on his final day.
Everyone will admit that 94 years is a good run; still we miss him deeply: and we will continue to for a long, long time. I will always remember how John treated each person as a person; and what that meant to each of us.

In prior years the IRS would give an expected day for your refund to arrive. With the changes this year the only thing they are saying is that it sould come in about 3 weeks. Minnesota should be more prompt.
