October 21, 1927 – January 19, 2021
Sydney Burton (Burt) Sellick was born on October 21, 1927 in Port Arthur, Ontario, to Stanley Thomas and Jean (Komph) Sellick. Burt grew up on Argyle Street, attending St. James School, and later the Port Arthur Collegiate Institute (PACI).
In 1952, Burt married the love of his life, Hefinwen (Fin) R. Morgan. Fin and Burt met through First Baptist Church and PACI and they began their married life in Calgary, Alberta, following Burt’s graduation from UBC with a Forestry degree. After two years in forestry and anticipating starting a family, Burt and Fin returned to Port Arthur. Soon after, a home on College Street was built, where they have resided to this day. Together, they have three children: Scott (Pat), Thunder Bay, Todd (Jan), Winnipeg, and Miriam (Malcolm), Uxbridge. In the years to come, nine grandchildren were added to the fold, whom Burt loved dearly.
