With deep sadness and love we share that Selwyn has passed away. Sel was a Professor of Mathematics and later in life became an Anglican Minister. Born in New Zealand in 1935 and married to Joan in 1959. He studied in Los Angles, California, then received a posting at Queens University.
He and Joan restored a historic limestone house, filled it with restored furniture and surrounded it with beautiful gardens. Sue and Glen were his children. They have endless memories of Dad’s gentle ways, kindness and service to others.
Sel and Joan spent their retirement in Victoria BC and became involved in many local activities and supporting less fortunate community members beautiful gardens and plants always followed them.
Dads’ final days were spent with his grandson, Kai, to much delight. Dad also loved Nathan and Daniel, his older grandchildren and loved watching them grow into adulthood.
Sel had a wonderful humour, even in his difficult final days.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Professor Caradus was such a gentle soul. I appreciated his kindness as I began my life journey in the secretarial pool in the Math Department at Queen’s. I hope you enjoy your memories?
To Glen and Sue, and children I offer my prayers for you as you mourn the passing of your father. May you find peace and comfort in all your precious memories
Sel and Joan were great friends through Holy Trinity Church North Saanich I was glad to have lunch with him this past spring and he was ready to meet his Lord and be with his beloved wife. So he will be happy
God bless. Helen
