I was in Mr Thies’ first grade 7 class at Wellandport and had the privilege of having him as a teacher again in grade 8 and principal for my children. He truly was serving the Lord as a teacher and principal and I’m sure he will be missed. May God give you comfort and strength in the days ahead. Cherish your memories and the hope for the future. Till we meet again Mr. Thies.

Tante Ali and Family,
My Uncle Bill was someone who I always remember as the warmest, kindest man. I was really shy as a kid and he always made me comfortable. His smile was always huge. He was definitely the “Pied Piper” of kids and I saw that most recently at my mom and dad’s anniversary party where the little ones running around just gravitated to him. He was born to be a teacher, father, grandfather.
I cannot even imagine what you are going through right now, I hope you can find strength and comfort in the each other to get you through this very very sad time.
Your Condolence I had the privilage as Having Mr Thuis as a teacher many years ago. He was so awesome. He made going to class an amazing experience. My condolences to the whole family he will be greatly missed <3
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Strength and peace.
My condolences to you and your family. Bill was very supportive during my first years of teaching at Wellandport. He was a kind and caring educator.
Very sorry for your loss!! I have fond memories of Mr Thies as well from Wellandport! He loved dill pickle chips and would call me to his office at recess and share my dill pickle chips One year for Christmas my mom bought him his own bag as a gift! He was always friendly and long after we left Wellandport, if he saw us he would always chat! Praying for your family!!
Dear Family, Mrs. Thies and children.
May the comfort as expressed in the Lord’s day one, of the Heidelberg Catechism,
also be the comfort in the lives of you and also for the whole family,
Sidney & Margaret Zeldenrust
