Norman Thede

I will never forget you and the joy you shared with those around you. Neither time nor distance can fade a beautiful spirit.

Our warmest condolences, From The Willard and Arlene Winterfeldt Families.

Mr. Thede was an amazing math teacher. I know teaching middle school may have been a challenge at times but he made this girl feel so very proud of her math skills. I'm thankful to have known him.

The words, actions, kindness and confidence Mr. Thede instilled in me as a young student at WK are a blessing I’ve continued to benefit from throughout my life. He believed in me and challenged me to always do my best, which at such a young age was a firm foundation I am thankful for. From our fun days “Doseedo-ing” our partners around the Western Koshkonong basement during gym class to the hard math facts he drilled into our heads, to the memorable Wyalusing and nature trips—he served us well as a teacher and gave the incredible gift of a love of learning and exploration. Although I left Stoughton many years ago it was always a pleasure to run into Mr. and Mrs. Thede around town and I will miss those smiles and encounters, as I assume the many children of Stoughton taught by Mr. Thede will as well. Sincere condolences to Mrs. Thede, Cheryl, Lacy, Brandon and all of your family. Thank you for sharing Mr. Thede with us all.
