To the Wilson family, I just found out about the passing of Selwyn. So sorry I did not make the wake nor funeral. We worked together at Inter Ocean Cabinet for many years. What a great man Selwyn was. Always smiling and kind words for everyone. On behalf of the entire IOCC family, please accept our condolences. Selwyn will be missed. There are not many like him left for us to learn from.
