William D. Selfridge

William Dryden Selfridge, or just Bill to most, passed away in the early evening of February 21 peacefully and painlessly at the age of 88, or as he might say, nearly 90. Born in Highland Park, Illinois, the youngest of four beloved siblings, Bill never ceded his fondness for the Chicagoland region, but he'd trade the big city for Minnesota just about any day of the week. With warmer weather approaching, we can effortlessly envision him canoeing through the Boundary Waters, listening to the call of the loon, and basking in all of nature's glory.

He loved dearly his wife Margaret, his family, and his friends. His superpower was seeing the best in people. It's what made him such a great salesman and such a wonderful human. And he undoubtedly loved just about every day of his long life. Bill is survived by his two sons, Tom and Peter, and their wives Trenny and Parita along with three wonderful grandchildren.
