Frank Mitchel Tuerkheimer

I´m so sorry to just hear this sad news just now. He pulled me aside in law school after mock trial and told me I had something and should be a litigator. He set me off on a path to bust people for white collar crime. I´m guessing he did that for many UW Law students. He will continue to impact the world in a positive way because of these ripples. Rest in Peace, Professor!

Debbie and Allen please know how much your dad loved you he always gave me strict instructions before I babysat you. Hope that made you smile !! Your family were always great neighbors. CC Sheldon

The LeBeau family (Sandra, Martin, Marcia, Dee and Jon) sends sends their deepest condolences to the Tuerkheimer family on the passing of their beloved father and grandfather.

Frank was at FBI Agent's prosecutor - most aggressive I ever met. He handled the two most important cases of my career - the Laser Case/rep. James R. Lewis and Judge Alex Raineri - both resulting in convictions. A fun guy to work with and be around. During the Raineri trial as we prepared after hours his daughter provided musical accompaniment as she practiced piano. (1980) Thomas E. Burg, Special Agent (retired), FBI (1967-99)

Frank was a wonderful boss - we worked together at Godfrey & Kahn/Lafollette & Sinykin for over 20 years. A highly intelligent man, he was an eloquent speaker and very gifted jurist. I feel blessed to have worked with him. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Professor Tuerkheimer was an excellent teacher. I remember him fondly for his insight and guidance (and the occasional misspelled word). I am thankful he helped me become a competent lawyer.
