  SCOTTSDALE, AZ H. Jack Seltzer, 88, former Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of 
  Representatives, and owner of Seltzer's Lebanon Bologna Company, died 
  peacefully on Monday, February 28, 2011, in Scottsdale, Ariz., surrounded by 
  his family. Seltzer was born in Philadelphia, on August 12,1922, and grew up in 
  Harrisburg and Palmyra. He attended high school at Mercersburg Academy before 
  enlisting in the United States Navy, serving as a First Class Petty Officer in 
  the Pacific during World War II. He met the love of his life, Geneva Shepherd, 
  while stationed in Jacksonville, Fla. They married in 1945 and Seltzer brought 
  his southern belle bride home to Palmyra after the war. His father, Harvey 
  Seltzer, died in 1946, and after the war Jack reopened the family business, 
  Seltzer's Lebanon Bologna Company, which had been started by his father in 
  1902. He was elected to the State House of Representatives in 1957 and served 
  24 years, the last two years as Speaker of House. Jack liked to say that he had 
  the same job as Benjamin Franklin, who also served as Speaker of the House of 
  Representatives in Pennsylvania. Jack and Ginny were married 65 years. They had 
  four children, Michael Jack Seltzer (d. 1983), Craig Harvey Seltzer (Donna 
  Curanzy), Pamela Shepherd, and Patricia Wagoner (Rolf Wagoner). They have four 
  grandchildren, Owen Michael Seltzer, Noah Michael Wagoner, Peter Austin 
  Wagoner, and Geneva Esther Wagoner. After his retirement the Seltzers moved to 
  Scottsdale, Ariz., and also spent six months traveling around the world. Jack 
  enjoyed tennis, sailing, bridge, and curling. Family and friends are invited to 
  a celebration of his life to be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 6, 2011, at 
  First United Methodist Church, 520 E. Birch St., Palmyra. The service will be 
  followed by a reception in the church Parish Hall. A private graveside service 
  will be held at Gravel Hill Cemetery.
