“Roy T. Edgerton, 88 of LaValle, died Tuesday [sic], Oct. 23, 2007, at the Reedsburg Area Medical Center. He was born on Dec. 21, 1918, in Hobson, Mont., the son of Roy R. and Lillian (nee McNulty) Edgerton. On March 14, 1943, Roy was united in marriage to Virginia Klausner at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, Mo. He proudly served his country in the Fifth Air Force during World War II. Roy was the national credit manager for E.J. Brach and Sons Candy Company for 42 years, retiring in August of 1987. He was active in the National Credit Management Association (NCMA). He was a member of the VFW since 1946, and upon moving to the LaValle area, he became a member of the Reedsburg VFW Post 1916. To know Roy was to love him. He was a wonderful provider, extraordinarily kind, mild mannered, protective, sweet and mischievous. His family meant everything to him. He was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church in LaValle

He is survived by his wife of 64 and a half years, Virginia M. of Lake Redstone; children, Sharon (James) Koukl of Tyler, Texas, Bob (Susan) Edgerton of McHenry, Ill. and James (Linda) Edgerton of Dallas, Texas; “second daughter,” Sharon (John) Dietrich of Winfield, Ill.; and six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
