Frederick Thurston Obituary
Frederick "Fuzzy" Charles Thurston, 80, passed from this life to his heavenly home on December 14, 2014, following a courageous battle with Alzheimer's and cancer. Fuzzy was born on December 29, 1933, in Altoona, Wisconsin, the youngest of 8 children of Charles and Marie Thurston. He was united in marriage to the love of his life, Susan (Eggleston) Thurston on June 23, 1957. They were married for 55 years at the time of her death on October 23, 2012. He was the loving and caring father to Mark, Griff, and Tori and grandfather to Olivia and Fred Thurston and Joey Kluck.
After graduating from Altoona High School, he went to Valparaiso University on a basketball scholarship. He didn't begin playing collegiate football until his junior season where he led Valparaiso to an Indiana Conference title and was twice selected All-American. He was named the conference Top lineman in 1955. The Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the NFL draft in the 4th round. In 1956, he was drafted by the U.S. Army where he served 21 months of duty and played football for the Army. In 1958, he played football for the Chicago Bears, again for the Eagles and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers before playing on the NFL Champion Baltimore Colts. He was traded to the Green Bay Packers in 1959 where he played Left Guard and was and remained a fan favorite. He played during the team's Glory Years under coach Vince Lombardi. He and fellow Guard Jerry Kramer led the Packers Power Sweep running attack. He won 5 NFL Championships with the Packers including the first 2 Super Bowls. He was named All-Pro twice, receiving the most votes of any player in 1962. He is one of only 3 players in football history to play on six World Championship teams (one with the Colts and 5 with the Packers). He was inducted into The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1975. He was elected to the Indianan Football Hall of Fame in 1982, and the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003. He was the first athlete ever to be voted in by the people of Wisconsin.
Fuzzy remained popular in Wisconsin after his playing days while owning several restaurants. This allowed him to stay in touch with the Packer fans who he loved so much. He was co-owner of The Left Guard Restaurants from the 1960's - 1980's. He owned Fuzzy's Shenanigans from 1984 until 1999 and Fuzzy's 63 Bar and Grill from 1999 until 2010. He also owned Fuzzy's Tickets and Tours taking pride in helping fans enjoy the tradition of experiencing a Packer game. He frequently participated in numerous golf outings, and events to raise money for charities.
Fuzzy and Sue raised their kids in Neenah, where they loved being involved in all their activities. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy and he loved spending time with them. They also spent many wonderful summers at their cottage on Upper Clear Lake with family and friends making special memories. Traveling to Marco Island, Florida for vacations in the early years and later living in Naples, Florida in the winter months brought them great joy as well. They spent their last years together on the beautiful Chain of Lakes in Waupaca, which they thought of as heaven on earth.
A kind and giving soul, Fuzzy always appreciated people with a firm handshake or huge hug. He was known for his big heart and being fun to be around. With Fuzzy, the glass wasn't half full, it was overflowing. He chose to make every day a great day. Fuzzy always had a kind word and an autograph for friends and strangers alike. He made time for everyone. He could easily light up a room with his smile. Despite his illnesses, he remained cheerful and true to his sweet spirit to the very end. He will be sadly missed by his family and numerous friends.
Survivors include three children, Mark (Carol) Thurston Green Bay, Griff (Robin) Thurston, Fort Meyers, Florida, Tori (Jerry) Burton, DePere; three grandchildren: Olivia and Fred Thurston and Joey Kluck. He was preceded in death by his parents; wife; his siblings; his in-laws, Gordy and Lila Eggleston, and numerous other relatives.
A celebration of life will be held at 3:00pm on Friday, December 19, 2014, at The Lambeau Field Atrium in the Legends Club Room, 1265 Lombardi Ave., Green Bay. A visitation will be held from 11:00am until time of service. Packer attire is welcomed. To leave a message for the family, please visit www.NewcomerGreenBay.com
In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established.
Family would like to thank the entire staff at Alpha Senior Concepts and Unity Hospice. Each person in their own way brought great care, support, comfort, and happiness to our dad and we will be forever grateful.

My father was a friend and business associate of Fuzzy's and when I was 12 /13, I babysat for Griff and Mark when they lived in the house in Greentree Estates. I loved Sue and Fuzzy and spending time with them - Fuzzy would say to the boys "What do you want to be when you grow up?" He had trained them to shout out in unison "Chicago Bears!" It was so cute and he'd just laugh that huge laugh of his. What a guy - he'll be sorely missed by so many with wonderful memories of him and Sue.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I hope your faily finds comfort in God's promise.
December 22, 2014
My mother used to work for Sue and Fuzzy at their home when the children were very small, and Tori wasn't even born yet! She stayed with the children when Sue and Fuzzy would take long trips, and all of us kids would say out to Thurstons. Later I would babysit for Tori, as a baby, Mark and Griff as toddlers, and preschoolers.
I have many fond memories of going on vacations with theThurstons, going to the Left Guard for dinner, helping Sue at cocktail parties, meeting various Packer players at their home, as well as going with them to visit other players families in Green Bay. Going to Sues parents home home in Green Lake and sledding down the street at the top of the hill with the kids, then walking downtown with Mark and Griff for hot chocolate. Going to the Ice Bowl game with Coach Eggleston using #5's girlfriends ticket.I will never forget the many good expierences and times I had with the Thurstons. Losing Fuzzy and Sue are like loosing a brother and sister. Please accept my heart felt condolences at the loss of your parents,as I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark, Griff,and Tori, I was saddened to read about your Dads passing. I can still remember meeting him for the first time at Father-Son banquet in my home town of Richland Center back in the early !960's. Little did I know then I would teach his children at Neenah High, and coach his boys. He was always a man with a "BIG and Loving" heart. My wife,Sandy and I send you our condolences. God Bless and comfort you, Bob Totten

So sorry to hear about the passing of your father.. He was such a nice person. My husband and I had a lot of fun times with him. One time we were with him and I mentioned that it was my father's birthday. Fuzzy got his phone and even though it was long distance, asked me to call my father, he wanted to wish my dad a 'happy birthday'.. That phone call certainly made my dad's birthday very happy. May the fond memories you have of your father, ease the pain you now have in your heart.

I only met Fuzzy once in Darboy where he was with his family, when his son-in-law sang at St. James Lounge. I went up to shake his hand and he grabbed me and gave me a big hug and kiss on the cheek....then shook my hand. It was an honor to meet him, not as a former Packer, but as a human being. He was the life of the party with that smile and infectious personality.

Rest in peace, Fuzzy. I remember going to watch TC in the late 80s/early 90s and seeing that big billboard for your bar nearby. I was not born yet when you played, but I always thought that it was so cool and classy of you and others from the Lombardi Era embraced this team and showed such pride, regardless of their record, especially when so many (then) current players didn't want to come to Green Bay in the first place. You showed us what Packer Pride really was.

December 17, 2014
Fuzzy, it was a joy to have met you and especially watching you play for our Packers. Your smile was most notable during your life in and around Green Bay. Now you will be joined by other teammates and the person that drove you to your success as a person and a football player. We will miss you Fuzzy.

This past August, Danielle got to meet and hug Fuzzy at the pregame activities for the Raiders matchup. He was wonderfully approachable and endearing. We were in awe of this great man. We were blessed! Mark, Paula, and Danielle Kutz - Corsicana, Texas. Packers fans forever

"Fuzzy" was the first real Packer I ever met and I met him on every occasion--as he was always open to the fans. I was so saddened when I went to "Fuzzy 63" expecting to renew our acquaintance only to find the place had been sold and "Fuzzy" wasn't ding well. God has him now and what a catch for the "Good Guys". Bless you and your family; you meant so much to all of us.

Dear Thurston Family,
As a GBP fan since 1960, I wanted to offer my sincere condolences with the passing of Mr. Thurston. I remember call his pub on the day of the Super Bowl victory in 1997, to offer my best wishes to Mr. Thurston. Mr. Thurston was a great football player, and with his talent and determination, three of the Packers whom he protected and blocked for are in the Hall of Fame. God Bless Fuzzy and his family.
