June 19, 1925 — January 21, 2017
ALBANY-Erich R. Thiele, 91, passed away peacefully on January 21, 2017 at Baptist Health Nursing & Rehabilitation Center.
He was born on June 19, 1925, to the late Robert E. and Marie (Willnow) Thiele in Nellschutz, Germany.
Erich came to the United States from Germany in 1951 and later became a US Citizen. Erich was a de-voted family man, raising 3 daughters and 2 sons with his wife Charlotte. He was a tireless, hard work-er.

Erich had a love for soccer and was a high goal scorer, playing with his many brothers-in-law in the Albany amateur soccer league. He was the life of the party, always joking, dancing, singing and playing the harmonica. Erich resided at the Baptist Nursing Home in Scotia for 8 years where he received excellent care by the won-derful staff and had frequent visits from his family.
