  Patrick W. "Rick" Vandenberg, Little Chute, age 68, died Monday January 5, 2015 at Cherry Meadows. He was born in Neenah on October 23, 1946 to the late Isadore and Louise (Blohm) Vandenberg. Rick was a talented high school athlete and had the opportunity to play semi-pro baseball.

He retired from U.S. Venture (Design Air) in 2013. Rick enjoyed racing, following the Badgers, Packers and Brewers and trips to the casino. Rick is survived by his wife of 44 years, Sandy; and son Todd (Samantha) of Appleton. He was eagerly anticipating the birth of his first grandchild in two weeks. He is further survived by his sisters: Joan (Kevin) Deno and Janet (Bill) Meyer; sisters and brothers-in-law: Vicki Vandenberg, Ernie (Rosie) Schinke and Gary (Margo) Schinke; good friend Neal Isbel; dog Buddy; and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
