Obituary: William L. Troxler

William L. Troxler 1919 ~ 2005 William LeRoy Troxler passed quietly on Sept. 30, 2005, of causes incident to age in Salt Lake City, Utah. Born Feb. 16, 1919, to Frank Troxler Jr. and Victoria Augusta Bergstrom Troxler in Salt Lake, Bill graduated from South High School and attended the University of Utah. He married Norma Deane Brandley, an elect lady, on Jan. 2, 1942, in Pocatello, ID; their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple in 1955. Bill served proudly as a member of the U.S. Army Air Corps in India during World War II. A meteorologist by profession, he worked for the U.S. Weather Bureau in Missoula, MT, and Sheridan, WY, then retired in Salt Lake City. As an active member of the community during his 23 years in Sheridan, Bill gave daily radio broadcasts, was Lions Club president, a member of the YMCA board, and LDS branch president. He was a faithful member of the LDS Church and served with dedication and joy. Bill was a good neighbor, a man of integrity, industry, and thrift; his genuine interest in people and sense of humor endeared him to others, especially his family who he loved unconditionally. Preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Bill was a devoted husband, a wonderful father and beloved grandpa. He included all in his fun--be it game-playing, racquetball, swimming, or sharing his prize raspberries and garden corn. He is survived by his children, Susan Holt (Douglas), Salt Lake; Joel William, Bozeman, MT; Julie Muelleck (Wolfgang), Fresno, CA; Kathleen Turner (Richard), Paradise, CA; 20 grandchildren and 15 great-grand-children.
