Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Selle,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but also when you served with the U.S. Air Force-especially during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Rest in Peace

I ask one thing - that in still, far-off days,
Someone who knew me should in their daily rounds,
Suddenly pause, caught by some sight or sound,
Some glance, some phrase, some trick of memory's ways
which brings me to mind, then I shall wait,
eager with hope, perhaps to hear -
“how great if he were with us still!”
And then at the end, all that I wish for is just -
“he was my friend!”

This is a very nice site for people to see their fallen hero's. I was not aware of this site until my mother told me about it. My uncle is Wayne Selle.

I wrote this poem in memory of my brother, Wayne L. Selle:

SLEEP WELL MY BROTHER

Sleep well my brother, for we know
that you are now with Him,
And the memories that we cherish
never will grow dim.

Sleep well my brother, now you have
no earthly cares to bear,
Wrapped in His tender loving grace,
we know you are happy there.

Sleep well my brother, we miss you so,
and when our hearts are sad,
We turn to God and thank Him
for the good times that we had.

Sleep well my brother, though we who are left,
must share the grief and pain,
There's comfort in knowing that our great loss
is surely God's own gain.

Sleep well my brother, though it is hard
to understand your leaving,
We live in hope we'll meet again,
if only we go on believing.
