Ned Bemenderfer, born March 17, 1930, in Rochester, peacefully went to his eternal rest from his home in South Bend, on April 03, 2020. Ned was the son of Estel and Glennie Marie Hartman Bemenderfer.

He is survived by Mildred M. (“Millie”) Bemenderfer, his loving wife of 70 years. He is also survived by his sons, Todd (Judith) Bemenderfer of Mishawaka and Neil (Kathleen) Bemenderfer of Indianapolis and by ten grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren.

He was predeceased in death by his brother and two sisters and by his daughter, Beth.

Ned was a machinist and tooling engineer, and a man of extraordinary mechanical talent. He built and re-built airplanes, boats, antique automobiles, boats, model engines, appliances and about anything else. Heaven will be running just a bit smoother now.
