Stephen Charles Thielke

Great times with a great friend making great memories. We'll miss him.

Dear Cynthia, I am so sorry to read this news. I always think of you folks when I stay at the House on the Rock resort during APT season. Ironically, your online network comes up on my tablet as an alternative. I wish you well and so regret that you have lost Steve so early in retirement. Fondly, Peggy Krueger Anderson

I feel very privileged to have known Steve my whole life. I am grateful for the trip he made to Colorado a couple years back. I was able to introduce him to my wife and son. Steve always had a contagious energy about him. I always enjoyed playing golf with him as well as the other fraternity brothers. Steve will be greatly missed but I will hold on to all the memories and stories I have of him and will share them with my family. Rest in peace Steve. - Doug Miller

I had the pleasure of playing a couple rounds of golf with Steve. What a terrific person. The world has lost a true gentleman. My condolences to his family. Mark Campbell

Cynthia, I was so saddened when, through the St. Luke's golf league, I received this news. Steve and I were golf partners for 3-4 seasons and we always looked forward to walking and talking during the 9-hole round each week - and a beverage afterwards. I also think back fondly of when our family first became members at St. Luke's and I was added to The Thielke Usher Team and how much I learned under your leadership. If you drive in for a Costco trip this summer on a Thursday night, I and several others, I'm sure, would love to see you again at Pleasant View. Dave Gillman
