Dennis John Ludewig was born July 27, 1950, in Sleepy Eye to Marvin and Della (Mickelson) Ludewig. He was a graduate from New Ulm Public High School. Dennis worked a variety of jobs in his youth, but took great pride in the 30 plus years he worked for New Ulm Public Utilities in the Power Plant until his retirement in 2009. Dennis took pride in his work but was most proud of the family he helped raise. He enjoyed every moment he got to spend with them, and especially loved getting to see his grandchildren grow. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Blessed be his memory.
