Not only did Tom continually serve the Good Lord, he also served our community very graciously. He was our leader for Meadowbrook Manor for many years. Deepest sympathy to Gladys and the family. What a wonderful guy!

So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Always enjoyed talking with him and Gladys at the Columbian or when ever we seen them. Also worked with Gladys at Serigraph. Our sympathy to you Gladys and family and may the beautiful memories you had with him be in your hearts forever.

So sorry to hear of Toms passing. He was such a nice man....I worked with him at WI Electric for a few years, and being related (albeit somewhat distantly) I always enjoyed our conversations about how the family was doing. Thinking of the Thelen family during this difficult time. ❤

Uncle Tom has been a wonderful, loved, inspiring man all of my life. I was blessed with him in my life and with him his wonderful family. I can't express how special he is and how special he always made me feel. He leaves a void in my life, yet his love, humor, and faith will always be with me.
