Erwin M. Thiel was born September 28, 1932 in Glen Ullin, North Dakota to Peter and Helen (Feser) Thiel. He was raised on the family farm and attended Erlandson Country School. He began his linemen career in 1949. He met Nancy Cleveland at a café in Underwood while she was waitressing and the couple was married May 2, 1961 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Glen Ullin. Erwin’s job took them to different states until they moved back home to help run the family farm. The couple was blessed with four children, Gay Marie, Bryan, Debbie and Brad. Erwin was a hardworking farmer and alongside his family, enjoyed milking cows for over 70 years.
In his earlier years Erwin enjoyed bowling and was always an avid sports fan, whether it was watching high school sports and cheering on his kids or enjoying Minnesota Twins baseball or Vikings football on TV. He loved spending time with his family and was always known to tell a good story.
