VANDEN BOOGAARD, MATHIAS J. "MATT"
Matt Vanden Boogaard, age 93, of Kimberly, was surrounded by the love of his family when he entered into eternal life on Saturday, February 4, 2012. Waiting to greet him was his wife of 65 years, Marian, two sons-in-law, his parents, brothers and sister and many other relatives. He was born May 29, 1918, in Kimberly, the son of Henry and Frances (Ver Voort) Vanden Boogaard. On April 17, 1943, while serving his country in San Francisco, California, he married Marian Jean Melendy with whom he spent the next 65 years. Upon returning from the service they settled in Kimberly and remained there to raise their family. Matt was a lifelong member of Holy Name/Holy Spirit Church. He enjoyed spending his leisure time with his family at Shawano Lake and later at Clover Leaf Lakes.
Matt was a very active man and was especially involved with his church, the community and the William Verhagen American Legion Post #60 of Kimberly. Over the years, he had many occupations which required him to travel around the state, something he enjoyed very much. In his retirement, he was always helping someone on a project, volunteering somewhere or going for his daily walk. Matt enjoyed being with his family and following his grandchildren's many endeavors. He loved life, stayed active and was healthy for 90+ years. In 2010, he was honored as a veteran of WWII and traveled to Washington D.C. on the Old Glory Honor Flight.
He is survived by his five children: John (Pat) Vanden Boogaard, DePere; Kathy (and the late Dick) Hurst, Appleton; Dick (Mary Lou) Vanden Boogaard, Kimberly; Kristine (and the late Bill) Gerhardt, Appleton and Dave (Kathy) Vanden Boogaard, Little Chute; thirteen grandchildren, John Patrick Vanden Boogaard and Amy (Geoff) Stenson; Chris (Becky) Hurst, Paula (Scott) Reaves, Shelly (Shawn) Manisto and Katie (Craig) Stevens; Tracy (Jim) Schommer, Brad (Julee) Vanden Boogaard, Polly Vanden Boogaard and Laura (Alex) Smith; Dawn Marwitz; Ross Vanden Boogaard and Ben Vanden Boogaard; fifteen great grandchildren, Kate, Zachary and Evan Stenson; Cole and Luke Hurst; Lincoln Reaves; Kyle, Jake and Derek Manisto; Chase and Mya Stevens; Reece and Phin Schommer; Danielle and Carly Marwitz; and a great great grandson: Wyatt William Paulick.

Dick enjoyed spending time watching his son coach college basketball, taking his daughters out to lunch and going on "Sunday drives" with his wife. When with his wife and children, Dick glowed.

Throughout his years, Dick was an active member of the Holy Name Athletic Association as well as the Boy Scouts of America where he served as a scout master.
