Finally, he owned Halter Real Estate and retired in 1995.
Virgil was a faithful member of St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Marshall at the time of his death. He was also an honorary member of the Eagles Club. His enjoyments in life included playing bingo, gambling with the family at the casino, playing cards (especially Skip-bo and Phase 10), watching football and baseball, fishing at his cabin on Lake Shetek and fishing with his life-long buddy, Ronnie, on Lake Of The Woods, and spending many years at his cabin on Lake Shetek entertaining with family and friends, and spending time with children and grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, Ardis Halter of Marshall; children, Judy (and Bob) Nuy of Marshall, Karen (and Jerry) Rund of Marshall, Steve (and Karen) Halter of Andover; grandchildren, Tammy (and Dan) Stattelman, Kim (and Kerry) Ruppert, Chad (and Amy) Nuy, Craig Rund, Erica (and Eric) Ripken, Amanda (and Nick) Ridley, and Troy Halter; great-grandchildren, Justin and Ashley, Haylee, Zachery, and Katelyn, and Kingsley and one on the way; siblings, Ardell (and Orran) Anderson of San Diego, CA and Elden (and Sharon) Malott of St. James; and many other relatives and friends.

Blessed Be The Memory of Virgil Halter.
