Peter G Haisan

Peter G. Haisan, 74, of Edgerton, Wi. previously of Bartlett, Il. passed away after a long illness the morning of 09/11/2023 in the VA Hospital in Madison, Wi.

He was born in Chicago and preceded in death by his parents Peter and Marian (Vernon Matsche) Haisan. He enlisted in the Air Force after high school and was a proud veteran having served 2 tours in Viet Nam.

Being a north side Chicago native he was the Cubs and Bears number 1 fan! We built our schedule around his favorite game times so he wouldn't miss a single one! He also loved boating and fishing owning several boats throughout his life. His favorite times were fishing with his buddies on the Gulf or near our home on Lake Koshkonong.

He fought harder than any person could to see another day, another family member or friend, another game or just another afternoon to sit outside with his boy Bear.

He is survived by his adoring wife Camille (Mattey-Vrchota) Haisan and his best buddy, Bear. He filled the last 34 years of our lives with laughter and adventures, too many to list here. He absolutely adored our boy Bear, his best buddy that stayed close to Pete at all times.

Also survived by his cherished family: sons Peter (Sue) Haisan, and Michael Haisan; and step-son Bill (Allie Melau) Vrchota.

By beloved grandchildren: Danielle (Ed Crumlett) Haisan; Christian Haisan; and Gianna, Alyson and Talia Vrchota.

Favorite sister Trish (Ervin) Resch, beloved brother John Haisan, preceded in death by brothers Michael Haisan and Ricky Haisan.

Also by his loving in laws: Ronald and Ronda Mattey; Bruce and Pamela Mattey.

He had so very much love and appreciation for his 15 nieces and nephews and their families: Jason, Jenny, Waylon, Travis, Rachel, Cassie, Aaron, Andrew, Brian, Jeffery, Mike, Chris, Mike(Bubba), Gary and Shonda. Also 18 great nieces and nephews and 4 great-great nieces and nephews.

Also his BFF's: Chuck (Heather) Wolf and Michael Hicks. He loved you both like family.

Our love and thanks to you for all your calls, texts and visits. He loved each and every one of you. He laughed so hard because of your comments about his choices of baseball and football teams and about his current hair style. You lifted his spirits and let him know that even though he wasn't out at the local establishment he was not forgotten. And really, how could you forget Pete?

I need to say special thanks to all the friends Pete had, whose calls, visits and support helped him get though his very hard treatments and illnesses this past year. You'll never know how many times he spoke about you all with love and appreciation: Larry and Anna Scharf and all the family, Bob (Sheryle) Fairbanks, Barb (Larry) Humbracht, Mike and Theresa Duffy, Guy Butler, John KJ and Ellen Kjendlie, Jeff and Sharon Swiggum, Keith and Rose Conroy, Nick and Inga DeAquino, Barb (Jerry) Polglaze, Jay Krug, in memory of John and Rita Jay. You all made him so very happy, he could feel your love!

Our vows stated "Not till death do us part because love is eternal" so until we meet again may God bless Pete, may he rest in peace.

If you're inclined a donation to the Disabled American Veterans would be his charity of choice. Or if you can, adopt a shelter animal. Only his illness prevented us from doing that this year.

As per his wishes there will not be local services but a Celebration of Life for Pete will be planned at a later date.

Just know that he loved us all very much. Keep him in your prayers.
