Edgar S. Lauther's Obituary
Edgar S. Lauther, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away peacefully on January 1, 2024, at the age of 80. Born on April 22, 1943, in Washington, PA, Edgar's life was marked by his unwavering dedication to his family, his passion for his work, and his love for the game of golf.
Edgar is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Patricia, with whom he shared a lifetime of memories and joy. He was a devoted father to his son, Edgar (Linda) Lauther, and his daughter, Melissa Hughes. His grandchildren, Jenna and Nicholas Lauther, as well as Connor and Kyra Hughes, will fondly remember their grandfather's humor and the wisdom he imparted. Edgar also leaves behind his brother, Sidney (Rose) Lauther, who will miss his companionship.
After completing his Bachelor of Science in Economics and an Executive Master of Business Administration at the University of Pittsburgh, Edgar embarked on a successful career in the steel industry. He spent many years contributing to the growth and success of Forbes Steel and Wire, followed by a rewarding tenure at Tatano Wire and Steel. His colleagues will remember him not only for his professional acumen but also for his ability to lighten the mood with his quick wit.
Outside of work, Edgar was an avid golfer, a hobby that brought him much happiness and relaxation. Edgar's sense of humor was a gift that he shared generously, and it will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Edgar's life was a testament to the love and laughter he brought into the world. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and all who were touched by his kind spirit.
