Not sure what to say?

Fr. Wilke was a great priest and friend to many at St. Jerome. He will be truly missed by all.

I am so sorry to hear this. Father Wilke was a wonderful, caring, understanding and witty person! He was loved by all in the St. Jerome parish, and many others. He was my life saver and the one who married my husband and I back in 05, as well as my brother and his wife back in 96. I was planning on contacting him for my younger brothers wedding next year. May he rest in peace. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family. He was by far THE BEST!

Fr. Wilke was a very special person, and a dear family friend. He married quite a few Sedlak men, including our son. Fr. was especially kind to my mom whom he visited every week(when he was at St.Simon's), they shared a wonderful bond. Fr. Wilke will be truly missed by all whose lives he touched. Prayers to the Wilke family and "Blessings" to you in heaven Padre..
With love, the Glenn Sedlak family

Father Wilke was a very special man. He was always there for our family in time of need. He was loved by the children of St. Jerome and they had a special place in his heart. Our prayers go out to his family. He will be missed by all who new him.

Father Wilke was a wonderful, caring priest! We were so saddened when he had to leave St. Jerome Parish as he was excellent with the school's children. His warm heart and incredible wit will be missed by all that knew and loved him. Our deepest condolences to all his cherished family and friends. Rest in eternal peace Father Jim, you were the BEST!
