SELK, Jim: July 5, 1949 - August 2, 2009
With love and deep sorrow we announce the untimely passing of James Leo Selk. Jim to most, Woody to his co-workers at BDL, Jimmer to those who loved him dearly, he died the way he had lived, peacefully and with dignity. Born and raised in New Holstein, Wisconsin, Jim moved to Victoria at the height of the Vietnam War and truly found his home. He joined the Brewery, Winery and Distillery Workers Local 300 early on and worked as a member of the union in a variety of jobs until his death, As well as being a committed unionist, Jim was also dedicated to community, serving as president of the Victoria Folk Music Society for over twenty years. Although he was a gifted musician himself, he rarely played outside the comfort of his own home, preferring instead to support the performance of others. Another of Jim’s passions was photography, especially in nature, an art he had pursued beginning in his youth, and he also became very adept with computer technology. A dedicated Mac man, he shared generously of his skills with those less knowledgeable, but was always admonishing us to read the manual! Over the years he had also grown to be a gourmet cook, treating family and friends to many delicious meals, on special occasions or just because. Jim leaves to mourn his passing a world of friends, a devoted family, and his beloved, [living]. A celebration of his life will be held 4 8pm on Labour Day, September 7, at Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue. Flowers and cards are gratefully declined. If you wish, please make a donation in Jim’s memory to Our Place Society or to a cause important to you.
