Obituary:
Vance Garvey, 66, Freedom, passed away on Saturday, April 16, 2011, following a brief illness. Vance was born in Appleton, on January 4, 1945, son of the late Vance and Delores (Hopfensperger) Garvey. He was a 1963 graduate of the Freedom High School and as a young man, he entered business with his father at Freedom Stove Company. He operated the company for about 20 years and then opened Garvey Sporting Goods and Discount, also in Freedom. For the past 17 years, he owned and operated VG Snacks, a vending route which he serviced every day. This past November, his health forced his retirement.
One word could sum up Vance's life: SPORTS. He loved golf, fishing and coached basketball in Freedom for many years. He played softball and in his younger years, bowled as many as four nights each week. In 2002, he was recognized with the Freedom Friendship Award for his contributions to the Freedom community. After his heart surgery, he slowed down a bit and began to spend time following the sporting events of his grandchildren. Vance loved to play Bingo at St. Thomas More Church, as well as his Tuesday card club.
Vance is survived by his wife, Pat Garvey, whom he married in 1997; and her children, Robert (Jackie) Breese, Appleton; and Coreen Breese, Freedom, and her special friend, Mark Lerquin. There are also five grandchildren, Ashley, Jessie and Ken Breese; and Aaron and Reeve Lambrecht; and a sister-in-law, Bernice (Jim) Van Asten, Appleton.
Vance was preceded in death by his parents; by Pat's parents, Frank and Beatrice (Stoffel) Blazek; and by a sister-in-law, Joan Schuh.
