Ronald Vande Yacht

December 3, 1943 ~ November 3, 2017 (age 73) 73 Years Old

Ronald T. Vande Yacht, 73, Wrightstown, passed away unexpectedly at his Wrightstown residence, on Thursday, November 2, 2017 while sitting in his easy chair watching his favorite TV program.  Ron was born in Green Bay on December 3, 1943, the son of Ed and Anna (Nienhaus) Vande Yacht.  He is survived by his twin brother, Donald and Nancy (Urban) Vande Yacht, Green Bay, niece Christine Vande Yacht, Minneapolis, nephew Daniel & Kim, Jessica, Jack and Kaitlin Vande Yacht, Ashwaubenon.  He is further survived by sons Vince Vande Yacht, Wrightstown and Troy & Lisa, Mason, Connor Vande Yacht, Muskego along with other relatives and friends.

Ron graduated from Rio Creek Grade School, Casco High School and attended UW-Madison.  After finishing his schooling, he worked in the cheese industry, co-founding Kasson Cheese Co., Inc. with his twin brother.  He later joined with his father in the water pump installation business and did a fabulous job growing the Vande Yacht Pump Installing Company into one of Wisconsin’s largest and most respected.  He did this with hard work and a devotion to his customers, anytime, anywhere, which led to his success. He was an avid Badger, Packer sports fan and his appreciation of all cars, especially Corvettes, was unsurpassed.

Respecting Ron’s wishes, the family has decided that there will be no Memorial Service. Verkuilen-Van Deurzen Family Funeral Home is assisting the family.
