I remember Father Semko when he was at St Anthony's in Ranshaw, Pa. Such a kind person. Rest in peace Father Walter.

Father Sempko, a pastor, friend, mentor, inspiration, holy and caring. Your devotion to Blessed Mother Mary and sharing the faith inspired us. Thank you for your life-long friendship and prayers for and with our family. Rest in peace. You will be missed.

Rest In Peace Father Sempko. You lived a wonderful life and were an inspiration to many.

Father Sempko was my spiritual director for a time. He was a very sweet, holy and insightful man. When he agreed to be my mentor, I often reminded him of Psalm 92 taken from the Liturgy of the Hours, "The just will flourish like the palm-tree and grow like a Lebanon cedar. Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God, still bearing fruit when they are old, still full of sap, still green, to proclaim that the Lord is just. In him, my rock, there is no wrong."...

My dear friend, Rest In Peace.
I will miss you and your beautiful cards.

Rest in peace, Father Sempko

Father Sempko was such a big part of my life and such a holy holy man. I will never forget him ever and although I should rejoice for he is with the Lord my heart is broken. He would always say to me "Your smile is the light that let's me know my heart is at home!" Eternal rest onto you Father until we meet again...

When Father Sempko was at St, Francis of Assisi in Harrisburg, my mother would make spaghetti and Father would love that. I think he liked all of us little ones running around keeping him entertained. What I remember most, is how kind he was to all of us, whether in church, in school or at home.
Rest In Peace, dear Farher!

Rest in Eternal Peace, dear Father. You have earned it. Thank you for your dedicated service to the Legion of Mary and all you had done throughout your priesthood. We will miss your wit and wisdom.
