MOUNT PLEASANT – Mr. Del Bredemann, 77, passed away at his residence on Sunday, November 4, 2012.
He was born in Lindsey, WI on July 11, 1935, the son of the late Albert and Emma (nee: Engelke) Bredemann. On July 27, 1962, he married Janice Tuma at Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
Del proudly served his nation with the U.S. Army while stationed in Korea. He owned and operated Del’s Linoleum and Carpeting for many years. During that time he developed many relationships and friendships with his customers. After the sale of his business he continued to work for Floortech under the new ownership. In addition to his flooring business, Del will be remembered for his vegetable garden and produce stands at his home and the local farmers’ markets. He also enjoyed attending Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church, golfing, bowling and spending time with his family.

Family and friends are invited to meet at the Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory on Saturday November 17, 2012 at NOON for a service honoring and celebrating Del’s life with Rev.

A wonderful man, friend and co-worker. I will always cherish my memories working with Del in the early Floortech days – good times, good stories and lots of laughs. There has been and will always be a special place in my heart for Del.
I will miss him very much.
My thoughts and prayers to the family. Carol
