Dean Larson Wilke

Dean will be missed by many people. He had a lot of friends, including best buddy Lefty Benzschawel & most helpful friend Kathy Morrow. Dean was a long-standing member of the former Grieg Club and his many friends from there are mourning his passing. I will personally miss him for his kind words and sense of humor. Dean enjoyed having a good time with all!! Our thoughts & prayers are with you all, his family & close friends!! ...Cathi Willette, Secretary of the former Grieg Club

Dean very generously left a bequest to the Madison Metropolitan School District's program for students who have visual impairments. We are humbled and surprised by the generosity. If any of his friends or family know about his connection or interest to students who are blind or visually impaired, we would gratefully appreciate learning more about this. We know Dean graduated from East High School in the 50's and worked for the Department of Public Instruction at one point. Unfortunately, that is all we know as our current and retired staff do not know of him. Please contact Joanne at 608-663-8489 or email to jmgrassman@madison.k12.wi.us
