Michael Ludemann Obituary
He was born in North Carolina to Mildred Helen Ludemann and the late William Charles Ludemann, and graduated from Platt High School in 1973 where he excelled in football through many a losing season. Michael was a skilled craftsman who made his living with a hammer and nails, building houses professionally and fixing one thing or another for everyone he knew. He loved riding his motorcycle, visiting Vegas and Nascar racing.
Always a trusted brother and friend, Michael was the first person you called when in need, and the first to show up to fix a broken window and a broken heart. He was both the kindest person you knew and the toughest guy you knew not to cross. He had an unbelievable respect for his parents and cared for them both, full time, for many years. His sibling and their families' were loved and protected by Michael and his passing leaves a hole in everyone's heart.
Michael was a dedicated father to daughter, Katie; son, Michael John (Jennifer); and step-daughter, Amy Jo. He was the proud grandfather of Leon, Kellece and Caleb; brother to Irene Ludemann, Helen Lange (Alan), Roseanne McMoran (Gary), William (Vera) Ludemann, Bruce (Mary Joy) Ludemann,Thomas Ludemann and Joseph (Holly) Ludemann; as well as uncle to 10 nieces and nephews and their children.
Relatives and friends may call at the Beecher & Bennett-Flatow Funeral Home, 48 Cook Ave., Meriden on Thursday, May 18, from 4 to 8 pm. Funeral services will be private. To send a condolence please see obituary at www.beecherandbennett.com.

To the family of Mike. We are so so sorry for your loss. We lived across the street from Mike for 15 years until we moved to FL. One of the most kind hearted loving man we ever met. He was always there when we needed something. He loved my spaghetti sauce and meatballs every time I made it I would bring him and Millie over a plate. We kept in touch texting weekly. When he asked me what I missed about living in CT I said Lyman Orchards apple pies. Four days later I had 2 apple pies at my door. The best!!!!! Chatham drive will never be the same.. . RIP Mike you will be greatly missed. ❤

To The Ludemann Family...
Mike was a great friend to our whole family! He was right there offering a helping hand with a smile. And he left with a stash of "jelly beans" as his payment more times than not. His quiet, reserved manner was so endearing. Mike loved is children and his grandchildren so very much. He will be sorely missed! Good-bye, Dear Friend!! God be with you!! With Deepest Sympathy to All! Rest now a while, Mike!
