It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing in January of William Frank Slaughter, Galena, IL. The Furlong Funeral Chapel, Galena is assisting the family. Bill received his bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance from Georgetown University in 1964 and spent his entire career working for Henry Crown & Company of Chicago, IL. He was united in marriage to Terri Eaton on August 6, 1983. After his retirement, they moved to the Galena Territory and Bill, an avid golfer, became an early member of the Eagle Ridge Resort golf club, which he continued to enjoy until his death. He is survived by his sisters, Dr. Martina Slaughter and Leslye Miller; two daughters, Tracy Trelstad and Wendy Slaughter; his son Jeffrey; seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his parents, Martina and Frank Slaughter; and one daughter, Christy Musson. Cremation rites have been accorded and his ashes will be interred at the Casper Creek Natural Cemetery in Galena, next to his wife, Terri. Bill was beloved by all, and a celebration of life is planned for spring of 2022 and details will follow. Donations may be made to Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation at jdcf.org.
