TAMPA — Lee Roy Selmon’s widow, Claybra, has released a book — “A Life That Shined: Lee Roy Selmon.”
It offers insight into Selmon’s high-profile life and describes some qualities most people don’t know.
Selmon was a self-taught musician, learning the drums, guitar and piano. He loved to sing, sometimes regaling his family audience on trips from Tampa to Oklahoma.
His boyhood dream wasn’t to play professional football. It was to become an auto mechanic, and he always loved to tinker with cars. He was a prankster and loved a good joke, a characteristic his family knew all too well.
