William R. Bremser

William R. “Bill” Bremser passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 8, 2024, at Froedtert West Bend Hospital. He was 73 years old.

Born on August 30, 1950, in West Bend, Bill was the cherished son of the late Lloyd and Dorothea (nee Brodzeller) Bremser. On September 5, 1971, he embarked on a lifelong journey of love and companionship with his devoted wife, Carol Degner, at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in West Bend.

Bill dedicated himself to a career in the grocery retail industry, beginning as a skilled meat cutter at Red Owl in West Bend. Through hard work, he advanced to the role of meat merchandiser for Roundy’s, traveling throughout Wisconsin.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Bill was an avid reader, he eagerly consumed the daily newspaper, staying informed on current events and world affairs. Traveling held a special place in his heart, and he cherished every moment exploring new destinations alongside his beloved wife and family, with memorable adventures in Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Alaska. Bill also had a soft spot in his heart for family pets and a weakness for Mounds Candy Bars.
