My condolences, Eileen, to you and your family. I recall what a fine time we had at the Hamline class of 1962 reunion dinner several years ago when I sat next to George and he, you and I had a good chat. Love, Bill Archerd

Mr Wilkie was wonderful ~ I have two children who graduated from Sibley High School ~ he was of great assistance to both of them ~ Thank you Mr Wilkie. Condolences and Blessings to your family and close friends

George was a key advocate for advancing the needs and interests of the students. His school board presentations always focused on student achievement and development.

George was a good man.

I worked with George at Henry Sibley for many years. He took me under his wing as a new teacher and I learned a great deal from him about how to treat students and colleagues. He was easy to talk to about anything personal or professional and I will always remember that about him. I hope the memories of him bring you peace and happiness.

My heartfelt sympathies to you Eileen and your family. I remember George's wonderful smile. May beautiful memories sustain you in the days ahead. Peace and blessings.

I am saddened to hear of his passing. My best wishes to the family. George was a kind soul who was always there to help any teacher or student at Henry Sibley who needed a good word or advice. I was lucky to work with him for many years.

Dear Eileen and family,
We are saddened to learn of George's passing and will always remember him for the wonderful man he was and whose passion was to assist the students of Sibley High School. Our three sons all benefitted from his counseling advice. Everyone knew him as the counselor extraordinaire! When the counsellors were designated to cover only certain students - last names beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet - and George had something like P through Z and I told him...

Wonderful Mr Wilke was counselor to all 8 of our children at H. Sibley .They still talk about him and we are so sad for his family at this great loss. Our family will keep him and the family in our prayers.
