Vilas E. Bartelt, age 86, formerly of Cascade, went to be with his Lord Sunday, June 26, 2005, at Rocky Knoll Health Care Facility, where he has been a resident the past two years.
He was born March 31, 1919 in the Town of Mitchell, a son of the late William and Otillie Matthies Bartelt. He attended Sunny Hill School in Dundee and graduated from Kewaskum High School in 1936.
He worked for O'Reillys Implement in Cascade before enlisting in the US Air Force, serving from 1942 to 1945. After returning home, he purchased O'Reilly Implement and operated Bart's Super Service in Cascade which he ran until 1979, when he became a rural mail carrier working until 1983.
On Nov. 13, 1948 he married Dawn McCoy. The couple lived in Cascade until moving to Plymouth in 2004.
He was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Cascade and had served on the parsonage building committee. He was an active life member of the Ambelang-Ebelt-Lau American Legion Post in Cascade and was active in Legion affairs locally, and on the county and district levels. He was also a member of the 40 et 8 and served as its chief officer. He had also helped to build the Legion Hall in Cascade (now the Lions Club House) and the Legion food stand at Road America.
A central figure in Cascade, Bart had served for over 25 years as a member of the Cascade Fire Department. He also served as Sheboygan County Supervisor for two terms and had been very involved in the reconstruction of county Highways E, 28 and 67.
During his retirement, Bart and his wife traveled throughout Wisconsin and Illinois, selling art wares and for over 10 years sold his woodworking items at the Elkhart Lake Farmers Market, where his work became very popular and sold throughout the US and overseas.
Bart loved his children and grandchildren and spent time hauling around the grandkids on his golf cart and spoiling them whenever possible.

He was preceded in death by one son, Scott; two sisters, Eva Matthies and Jane Kienbaum; and four brothers, Lloyd, Willard, Orlando and Orville.
