RICHARD FORREST SELDEN
Lake Odessa - Richard Forrest Selden passed away peacefully at his home on 
the lake under the watchful eye of Hospice and his loving family on 
Wednesday, November 22, 2017, in lake Odessa, Michigan. He was born December 
6, 1928 in Eagle Township. He grew up on a farm and graduated from Portland 
High School in 1946. He married Ann Green on August 12, 1949 and together 
they raised four children. He worked 35 years at TRW in Portland, retiring in 
1988. 

He was a man of many talents. He could turn a piece of broken down furniture 
into something beautiful. He loved dabbling in antiques and spent lots of 
time at garage sales, searching for that perfect treasure. He was a hunter, a 
fisherman, a carpenter, and a handyman. He made friends whether  camping, 
wintering in Texas, spending time at Bonanza Antiques, or just going to the 
grocer store. His family and friends will remember him for his friendly 
smile, his kind words, his firm handshakes and warm hugs, and his unwavering 
love for them. He was a man of God and a friend to all.

He is survived by his three children. Jim (Lorna)Selden of Ludington, Jerry 
(Cindy) Selden of Portland, Luann (Lee) Stark of Portland, 10 grandchildren, 
15 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. He's also 
survived by his brother Jan (Dorothy) Selden of Westcliff, CO, brother-in-law 
Robert Atherton of Portland, and a host of nieces and nephews. 

He was predeceased by his wife, Ann, in 2013 after 64 years of marriage, his 
son Larry in 1971, and his granddaughter, Sara Starks in 2001. In lieu of 
flowers, donations may be made to Hospice.
