Message from Kelly Imhoff January 18, 2020
My heartfelt condolences to the Gilker/Beebe family’s passing of Mr. Gilker. As a former student of his, I can say he was one of the most respected, honest teachers I ever had. He was more than an intellect, historian and awesome educator. He was a believer! He believed in each and every student he taught. It was so apparent. I know that he protected us and looked out for our well being. You will be missed Mr. Gilker. May you have eternal rest and peace.

To Stephen Gilker’s family,
I am so sadden to hear of Stephen’s passing. He was my history teacher in the late 70’s. He was a wonderful teacher and had a way of making a connection with his students. I have fond memories of him! He had a special place in my heart and always will!

I remember the first day he taught in Bonaventure (although I forget the course … was it history?) and also the exciting evening (that same school year?) he won the door-prize of a live sheep at the St. Patrick's Day Concert in St.Jules! A wonderful guy. Very sad news.
