Henry Joseph Laudenbach

Henry Joseph Laudenbach, age 82, passed away peacefully on Sunday February 9, 2025 at his residence. Henry was born in Eystrup, Germany on September 15, 1942, son of the late Martin and Barbara (nee: Friedl) Laudenbach, the youngest of fourteen children.

He was a proud graduate of Wm. Horlick High School “Class of 1961”. On June 23, 1964, Henry married the love of his life, Phyllis Ann Mertins. They raised four daughters, Dawn, Pamela, Lisa and Heidi, and have shared sixty beautiful years together. Henry was employed as a plumber with Casper’s Plumbing for twenty years and ten years with Karlsen Plumbing. His greatest joy came from entertaining fans throughout the county playing lead guitar in his band “The Trendels”. Through the years, Henry could also be found playing soccer, fishing, playing the accordion, going to Germanfest with family, or vacationing in Las Vegas, Mexico and his two trips back to Germany. Henry will be remembered best for his quality time spent with his family whom he loved more than anything.

Henry will be dearly missed by his wife, Phyllis; daughters, Dawn Rondone, Pamela Rondone, Lisa Laudenbach, and Heidi (Michael) Schold; and many grandchildren; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

All are welcome to meet with the family for A Celebration of Henry’s Life at Preservation Hall, 740 Lake Avenue, on Friday February 21, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Memorials to Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research have been suggested.

Prost Henry!! Heaven will never be the same.
