Kenneth R. Wilske

To the Family of Dr. Wilske:

I know that he has been gone for a few years now, but I just recently learned of his passing.

I was 32 when I met Dr. Wilske, I had been seen 5 doctors in Puyallup, WA and they couldn't find what was wrong with me, and I just kept getting sicker and sicker. One of them sent me to the Virginia Mason. On that day I saw 4 doctors, and Dr. Wilske was the last. He talked with me, did many tests.....it was well over normal hours and he stayed to wait...

To the family of Dr. Wilske,

I became Dr.Wilske's patient in 1995 and he referred to me as a 'hostile' patient. I was shocked. Looking back I can see that he was right. I was absolutely desperate by the time I became his patient, having spent two years getting various opinions from others physicians.

Dear Janean,

Although I didn't really get to know Ken at Nampa Hi (he was 2 yrs behind me), we got to know each other fairly well as he was a frequent passenger in my car to and from the U.W. while he was in Med School there, & I was in a PhD program in psychology. I have nothing but positive and fond memories of him. About a year ago I looked him up on the internet and was planning a reunion of sorts with him this coming summer......alas, not to be.

I'm so sorry for your loss!...

Janean, I just recently learned of your loss, and wanted to express our sympathy to you and your family, and admiration for Ken's accomplishments. Years ago, my Mother was able to come to Virginia Mason and meet with Ken about her concerns. She was so complimentary of his assistance and consideration. Ken has had an exemplary life and career. Regards to you.

Growing up I have many fond memories of Dr. Wilske. He was such a kind patient man and father. My condolences to Mrs Wilske, Lisa, Ashley and Kendell.
