William SELBY

Bill hired me as I graduated from UofC in 1973 for a summer job writing for the HBOG publications. I got to drive and fly around the province and at the end of the summer he took me for lunch at a club. He was a supportive boss and great to work for. That job led to two others and inspired me to get more into photography. Good memories of him.

Bill was a lovely man,had a wonderful booming voice. He was kind and not one too look down on people. I know he had a great family and they should be very proud of his legacy.

I knew Bill from the 1980's when we worked together at the U of C. I remember him as unfailingly kind and generous. Just a really good guy. He will be missed. My condolences to Bill's family and close friends.

Bill was a long time friend and member of the same fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon.

Bill was our partner in all things Rotary --- he did as he always did bring strong support - After his last little dustup with his car on the way to/from(?) Jasper, I had the privilege of ferrying him oncassion after our Rotary meetings. We talked cars (he and I both liked Mercedes! and grandkids and politics) Such great fun and too short an opportunity for BIG discussions but lots of time to learn quickly about his huge scope of interests and his absolute delight with those grandkids. Our Rotary Club misses Bill and I sure do miss those lovely chats. My thoughts are with you all. WE have lost a dear friend........

Our deepest condolences to all of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Your dad is holding hands and smiling with your mom now.

Bill will be sadly missed as a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators and as a personal friend to all who knew him.

Jennifer, Gillian and John;
We are sad to learn of your father's passing. We will continue to remember him for his humour,sincerity and thoughtfulness.

Bill was a wonderful neighbor and friend. He was a kindhearted gentleman with a heart of gold. I cannot help but believe that he has finally been reunited with Mary in heaven. May both their kind souls rest in peace... Love Janice

All of us at The Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary are saddened to hear about Bill's passing. We all worked so closely with Mary and then, only in Bill's style, did he step up to the plate and start raising much needed dollars for the kids. We will miss you Bill. Our thoughts are with you John, Jen and Gillian.

Jenn and family,
thinking of you at this time.
our sincere sympathy.

Mr Selby was a Kind,Gentle,Reliable man. He was our advisor for Junior Achievement and then again an advisor for AIESEC Calgary. I thought of him many times over the past few years as a model for always giving tasks to busy people because they would get it done! His involvement with bringing one trainee to HBOG set up a lifelong friendship with my husband and I and a couple from Sweden. Thanks Mr Selby!

Jim and I were both saddened to hear of your loss of dear Bill. We had the wonderful opportunity to share many fun times with him when he came to visit Syl on Salt Spring Island. We ate food in the dark, cooked on a wood stove and shared champagne in Cowichan Bay. He was a fun and entertaining man. He will be missed. Hugs to you all.

Bill was a most gracious and wonderful man. He was greatly respected for his interest and commitment to the Calgary Zoo.

So sorry to learn of " Uncle Bill's " passing. I had such a lovely visit with him at Flora Allison's service a week ago. Such an amazingly wonderful man. Thoughts and prayers are with the Family.

The world will miss a great man. Bill was my "pew mate" every Sunday at church and I shall miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
