Gerald R. Slagoski Sr.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gerald R. Slagoski Sr., who left us on Friday, March 28, 2025, just shy of his 85th birthday. He was born on April 14, 1940.

On July 25, 1959, he was united in marriage to Rosemary F. Ruffalo.  Their union was blessed with two sons and nearly 66 years of marriage.

Gerald was employed as a sales representative for Sears in Kenosha and as a bailiff for Kenosha County Courthouse until his retirement.

In his spare time, he enjoyed cowboy shooting.

Gerald’s warmth, kindness, and sense of humor left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He will be deeply missed by his sons, Gerald Slagoski, Jr. and James (Michelle) Slagoski; grandchildren, JT Vasquez, Jordan Slagoski and Nikkolas Slagoski; brothers, Robert (Ruth) Redlin and Kenneth (Robbyn) Redlin and many nieces and nephews who will hold a special place in his heart.

Gerald was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Loretta (Ranik) Redlin; his wife, Rosemary Slagoski; daughter, Kathleen Elizabeth Slagoski; and brothers, Raymond Slagoski and Timothy Slagoski.
