With love in our hearts we announce the passing of a husband, Selmer, of 71 years to Georgiana; a father to Michael and Cindy (Steve) a grandfather to Kjell (Elise), Erica (Talon), Kendall (Steve) and a great grandson Grayson, Morgan (Chris); a brother-in-law to Jack (Helen), Vonnie (John); an uncle to nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

Selmer loved all sports (played handball and football) but football was his favorite. He played defensive safety for the University of Wyoming Cowboys '49-'51. He played on the 1950 Gator Bowl Team that beat Washington and Lee. He was also selected to play in the North- South All Star game in the Orange Bowl on Christmas Day in Miami, Florida. He was inducted into the University of Wyoming Athletic's Hall of Fame on Sept. 16, 1964 with The Gator Bowl Team of 1950 and again on Sept. 14, 2012 as an outstanding safety.

His profession, as an exploration geologist, gave him the opportunity to travel around the world exploring for oil and gas. First in the Rocky Mountain states and then in Indonesia, Philippines, Spain, Spanish Sahara, Guatemala, Colombia, Argentina, South Africa, Australia and Papua New Guinea.
