We were deeply saddened to hear of Selwyn's passing and offer our heartfelt condolences to Helen, Shelly, Sean and family. Selwyn was a wonderful neighbour for many years and more than that, a very dear friend. A few decades ago, Selwyn had the freedom to redo the gardens and expand grassy areas in the courtyard. He created such a lovely garden oasis for us all to enjoy. That is how we remember him, with love.
