Frank Thelen Obituary

I met Frank several years ago on a cruise to Mexico. What a wonderful gentlemen I had a previlege to to get to know. Over the years we kept in touch and have seen him in Las Vegas and his home town. Just last year in Sept. I was in San Francisco on a cruise, he was so gracious to meet me and and take me to a wonderful restaurant for lunch. He will be missed!
Rest in peace Frank!
To Frank's family, my deepest condolences. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I have a lot of great memories growing up across the street from the Thelen family. Frank taught me how to water ski, or at least be dragged behind a boat. The Thelens had the coolest garage ever, with a couch and a boat in it! And our dads always played show and tell with their latest man-toys, barbecues and motorcycles they bought. Carla, Mark and Catherine...God Bless your families, Flo(rain)

I met Frank a few times. Knowing him through his son Mark , as they would talk multiple times a day and Mark shared many of the great stories. Frank's service was beautiful. I know what a remarkable man he was. Easy to see how Mark and his dad were best friends ..

Frank and I went back to 1962 when I was hired at Lewis and McDermott. He taught me so much about the business. Even though my career as Federal Meat Grader took me from the area, we atayed in touch. Rest in peace my friend

Back in 1982 I worked with Theone at Bank of America, I had my first child then and Frank said when he was 1 year old he was going to bring me a puppy ...well he did from the Dixon Auction to the day he made that comment to me at the bank...we had our precious 'Bullet' for 15 years and the last time I ran into Frank , he couldnt belieive it had been 30 years since he did the most generous gift ever my son who is 31 now will ever remember. Your father was awesome and I am so very sorry to hear this...There is another angel looking down at us all now....God Bless

Many happy memories and thoughts, "the good old days" at the meat company. I can go back there right now, white coat and hard hat(:(: I am very sad...

We are very sad to hear about Frank. He was a good man and will be missed.

Sincerely,

Gil and Sally Chavez
