James E. Selleck's Obituary
James Edward Selleck, 72, of Superior, Wis. passed away Mon., Nov. 29, 2010 in St. Francis in the Park Health & Rehab. Center.
Jim was born in Superior on June 24, 1938.
He was a U. S. Air Force veteran having served for four years and then he enlisted in the U. S. Army where he served more then twenty years.
In 1998 he received his Master's Degree in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Superior.
He was a free lance photographer and reporter for newspapers in Duluth, Minn., Virginia, Minn. and the Superior Evening Telegram.
He was a charter member of Phillips, Wis. Moose Service Center No. 2261 and a life member of Superior Moose Lodge No. 606 of which he was very actively involved. He had held all officers' chairs in the Moose Lodge No. 606 and all of the officers' chairs in the Moose Legion No. 138. He also held the position of the Community Chairperson for the State of Wis., was the Past Pres. for District 8 and was honored to be a Past Deputy Supreme Governor for the State of Wis.
He served as Commander for the DAV for several years.
Jim always felt – "A STRANGER WAS SOMEONE HE JUST HADN'T MET YET". He enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone.
He was preceded in death by his father, James Wade Selleck on Sept. 23, 1993; his mother, Margaret Alice (Moran) Selleck on Nov. 22, 2010; an infant sister, Susan Rae Selleck in 1946; and his beloved dog, Sparky.
