In 1955 Therole met Sharon Miller and they were married in 1956. He served as a Reservist in the US Marine Corp. receiving an honorable discharge and was also an active member of the Masonic Lodge in Brea. Therole worked as a truck crane and heavy equipment operating engineer until his retirement in 1974 at which time the family moved to Yuma. Proud to be a Yuman, Therole loved to hunt dove and quail as well as big game and was an avid bass and crappie fisherman. In 1989 Therole helped to establish local chapter #590 of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).
Therole and Sharon had two children, Robert and Coleen, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, with a seventh great-grandchild expected in November. Sadly, Coleen passed away in 2013.
The Memorial Service for Therole will be held at the Johnson Mortuary on Thursday, May 2, 2019 at 11:00 am with a reception to follow at the Desert Aire Clubhouse.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Therole's name to the Arizona Game and Fish.
