Joseph WILKE Obituary
September 19th, 1923 - June 14th, 2012
Joe went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on the evening of June 14th, 2012. He is loved and remembered by his wife, Olga; son, James (Brigitte); grandchildren, Jyllenna, Bronson, Sheldon, Nicole and Melissa; three great- grandchildren; two brothers, Walter (Anne- Marie) and Loren (Fern); and brother-in-law, Joe Basset. Joe was predeceased by his parents, Paul and Aurelia; son, Lee; infant sister, Marion; sister, Verla Basset and brother, Raymond. Joe was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and community volunteer. Being the strong, silent and extremely reliable type, those who knew him trusted and counted on him. He selflessly made every opportunity available for his family being the ever present skilled handyman, coach, manager, chauffer and supporter. Joe was known to live by the adages "if it is worth doing, it is worth doing right" and "if there is a will, there is a way". The Vigil for Joe will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, June 18th and the Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 19th. Both services held at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church, (602 Boychuk Drive). Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (101, 440 - 2nd Avenue N, Saskatoon, SK S7K 2C3).

My Heart Is Full Of Sadness To Find Out Only Today - Febuary 11th, 2013 - That You Are No Longer With Us. I'm heartbroken to find out this way, but am Thankful that I now know. I've thought a lot about Grandma Olga & Grandma Joe over this passed year and am so full of regret that I hadn't tried sooner to get in touch... We've also lost Nicole (Nikki) Wilke on December 28th, 2012 @ about 7p.m in the Surrey Memorial Hospital ICU. We were there with her for her last breaths & I'm sad to realize that when she passed, not knowing you had passed away 6 months prior, that I hadn't thought about You getting to greet her in Heaven. I'm comforted though now knowing that she and yourself included, had just one more Loved One there to meet you guys. I send my Love to You, My Dad Lee & Sister Nicole Wilke and all our passed friends and family.. Until we meet again in perfect happiness, help us to be healthy, happy & safe! xoxo Lots of Love.
May You
Rest •In• Peace
~Grandpa Joe Wilke~
Love You Lots,
Your Granddaughter,
Melissa Wilke xoxo
