Remembering Frank Thousand

Frank Thousand, past Executive Director of the Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors (WSLS) passed away on November 3, 2022, after a courageous battle against Interstitial Lung Disease. Frank served as Executive Director of WSLS from 2007 until June of 2022 and was working to transition his duties to new Executive Director Bob Welch of the Welch Group in recent months.

“Frank and his wife Millie made a dynamic team in serving WSLS as Executive Director for the past 16 years. Our profession was blessed to have a passionate force like Frank guiding the way.” said Bryan Meyer, current President of WSLS. “We will most certainly miss Frank’s knowledge, wisdom, and humor. Our profession has lost a true friend.”

Frank is survived by his wife, Millie; his sons, John (Gina) and Charlie (Peter); and grandchildren, Adrianna, and Evan. There will be no memorial services held. A private family burial will take place at a later date. Frank’s obituary can be found here: Francis R. "Frank" Thousand Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information.
