John Selinger Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 5 to Sep. 6, 2006.

SELINGER, JOHN-It is with sadness and much relief that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather on Friday September 1, 2006 at the age of 84. John was born in Penzance, SK on November 26, 1921. He was the eldest of 12 children. He was predeceased by his father, Jacob (1988), his mother, Amelia (1991) and one brother, Frank (2005). He is survived by his children, Janice (Jim) Leibel, Norman (Darcy) Selinger, Darrel (Shelly) Selinger and Tammy (Frank) Bevan, 8 grandchildren Trina (Brad) Millard, Jamie (Jayne) Leibel, Jonathan (Allison) Selinger, Chrissy Selinger, Jess-Ann Selinger, Brett Selinger, Cori Selinger, and Madison Bevan and 2 great-grandchildren, Austin and Walker Millard. He is also survived by his 4 brothers, Hank, Ed, Jack and Richard as well as his 6 sisters, Freida Krumholtz, Lavina Venne, Irene McCormick, Evelyn White, Rose Lewis and Marge MacKay. At this time the family would like to thank one very special person. If anyone ever had a guardian angel on earth, our father did in his cousin, Frank Maier. We will forever be grateful to him for always being there for our dad. The Memorial Mass will be celebrated Thursday, September 7, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. from St. Peter's R.C. Church, 100 Argyle St. , Regina, SK with Rev. John-Baptist Okai, celebrant. Donations in John's memory may be made to St. Cecilia R.C. Church, 5020 7th Ave., Regina, SK S4T 0S1.

MY heart felt sympathy goes out to you all.

I met your Dad through Tammy when I was only 14 years old. He and I kept a very special relationship for all these years. He was from the first day I meet him my "POPS". My Dad lives far away and I miss him very much and Tammy knew that. To this day Tammy has never said a word to me about how I loved to share her Dad. Your Dad my "POPS" was very much like a dad to me, and a very special person in my life and for sharing him with me I THANK You Tammy.

One of my favorite memories is the weekend that you and I went out to the lake Tammy and your Dad and I fought our way through laying the rug in the main bedroom. Oh Tammy,do you remember the water fight that we had on 7th ave, I can still hear him laughing.

He was at your grad Tammy which meant he was at mine too. He came up to the hospital when I had my first two babies and brought a gifts for them. On my Wedding Day, "Pops" met me at the entrance I walked in at, both of us with tears falling from our eyes, we gave each other a hug then we cried and later we dance. He look so very Handsome that day. Pops came to my house for a few Christmas Eve's. I tried to never miss taking my kids to his house on halloween, when I lived in the city. I tried my very best to never miss his birthday, it didn't matter if it was a call, lunch date or a card sent to him.

I always tried to let"Pops" know that he was very speical to me. Pops in his own way let me know that I was special to him too. I got heck when he felt I needed it and if I agreed or not we had our own thoughts and we voiced them to each other. I also gave a hug when needed and so did he.

I want to thank you, Tammy for sharing your Dad with me for "Pops" will always be a very special person to ME, and to my family.

With heavy hearts we wish you Deepest Sympathy to all of the Selinger Family.

Rhonda, Tim, Brittany, Chelsea, Evan, Austin and Danielle.
