God bless the Selch family. Our family knew Bobby many years.
I worked with Bobby at St. Bartholomew Lenten fish fry. The Selch and Schoenbachler families all went to St Bartholomew school.
Played cards at Men´s club meetings. Bobby was a great man.
Will never forget his friendship.
May God bless the Selch Family
Love ,
