March 11, 1933 — November 28, 2005
W. G. “Van” VandeStreek, age 72, passed away Monday morning, November 28, 2005, at his home on Heritage Dr., Green Lake, under the care of Affinity Hospice.
He was born March 11, 1933, in Alto, a son to Marie and Garret VandeStreek. He graduated from Waupun High School, and attended the Art Institute in Chicago and Art School in Los Angeles, CA. He served in the U.S. Air Force from Nov. 14, 1950 to Aug. 28, 1954. Van moved to Green Lake in the late 50’s and worked at Barnekow’s, Bel Air, Norton’s, and was bar and dining room manager at Heidel House, and Alfred’s. He will be remembered as owning Carver’s since 1972 when it re-opened, serving tableside, Caesar salads, Steak Diane, and flaming desserts. After Carver’s was sold in 1990, Van managed Nordic Hill for several years. Van’s customers meant so much to him and he received much joy from them. Van was an avid golfer and was a member of Mascoutin Golf Club. He had close friends and rarely went anywhere where people didn’t know him. Van lived for Marilyn Mette, his significant other, and her family of 4 children, Mike (Anne) Mette of Cedarburg, Janet (Al) Bednarek of Berlin, Melinda Floros of San Diego, CA, Sheryl (John) Otto of Hoffman Estates, IL, 10 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandson. He was preceded in death by his parents, 4 brothers and 1 sister.
