David D. Thoele

Thinking of you on this Anniversary of Davids death.

I worked with David part-time at ACE hardware. He was a pleasure to work with. He taught me the ropes at the hardware store. He always made work fun and interesting. He even promoted me by giving me a parking spot which was one spot closer to the front door of the store! It was those little things that made me laugh and smile.

He was a very smart talented employee at ACE and we still miss him terribly.

Dear Diane - Friends from oh, so long ago in Lansing - in the "good ol' days" of Oldsmobile. I can still remember your large dog's tail almost knocking Denise over as a new walker at age one! Orval and I send you our love and heartfelt sympathy. May the love of family and friends help sustain you as you endure this latest loss.

Dear Diane,
We were terribly saddened on receiving the news about David. Our hearts go out to you and our thoughts and prayers are be with you. We called several times but apparently you were not home. We're in FL at 352-741-4257 until April.
God bless, we love you,
Kathleen & Everett

To The Thoele Family: Dave was always so friendly and helpful when I stopped at the hardware store for parts or to see his co-worker Donna. I visited with him many times when I had a gift for Donna. He thoroughly enjoyed it when I dropped off gifts for my friend. Last time I did was Oct. 8. You could just see him smile when I dropped one off for he thorougly enjoyed being the bearer of gifts, especially if it was a gag gift. On Oct. 8 was the last time I saw him. We talked in the store...

Dana, Charlie, Merlow, Mitch and Mac,

Although I never met David, I feel as if I knew him through you and your stories. I know he had a huge heart and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Our prayers are with you as you journey through this terrible tragedy. With deepest sympathy.

Dianne
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Our sincere sympathy and condolences.

Diane and Family,
After you way say good-bye, it will be the shining memories of love and laughter that will comfort you forever!
With our deepest sympathy and love, Kathleen and Ken Weinzierl
