Gary Redlin
Gary C. Redlin, age 65, of Baraboo, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at his home.
Gary, the son of James A. and Marie E. (Pfragner) Redlin, was born on April 3, 1956 in Hartford, WI. He moved to Baraboo with his family in 1959 when his father was employed by the Schieble Funeral Home.
Gary attended both elementary and high school in Baraboo, graduating in 1974. He attended MATC in Madison and received an Associates Degree in Police Science in 1976. In October of 1977, he was hired as a patrolman with the Baraboo Police Department. In June of 1981, he left the Police Department to join his father in the funeral business. He received his degree in Mortuary Science from MATC-Milwaukee, graduating in 1983. He worked along with father, James Redlin, until Jim passed away suddenly while vacationing in Florida. Gary then took over the business and operated it, along with his wife, Sandy, until May of 2016 when his health forced him to retire. He was dedicated to his profession and strived to continue the work ethic his father instilled in him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jim and Marie Redlin; his father-in-law, John Gibbons, his brother-in-law, Bill Hagedorn; brother-in law, Chuck Gallagher; and nephew, Benjamin Gibbons.
Gary had been a member of St. Joseph’s Church, Baraboo Elks Lodge #688, Baraboo Kiwanis, the Knights of Columbus, the Gold Wing Road Riders Association as well as several professional organizations. He had also been a participant with the Team 3 Cardiac Rehab Group at St. Clare Hospital for the last 24 years who he considered his “other” family.

Thinking of Sandy, Kyle and the entire family during this difficult time. Gary and I attended Cardiac Rehab together for several years and I loved his infectious laugh and his insight into the Green Bay Packers. Gary was a compassionate friend and professional in coordinating the funerals for both of my parents who were close friends of Gary and Barbs parents. He impacted many lives throughout the years and he will be greatly missed by many. Rest in peace Gary.
Dear Sandy, Kyle, Barb, Sue and the entire Redlin, Krueger and Hagedorn families,
We are so very sorry for your loss. May you be comforted by your faith, your cherished memories, and the love of those who care so much about you. I so enjoyed my frequent visits with Gary last winter and spring when we would see each other along the Baraboo River Walk. Together, we monitored the weather and rejoiced when winter gave way to warmer temperatures and signs of spring.
Holding you in our thoughts, our prayers, our hearts —
With deepest sympathy,
