Fund Est. 2006
Reinhard 'Reiney' and Mariann (Brite) purchased the company previously known as Mollenkopf and Eiting in 1965 and were blessed with its success. It was located on Third Street in downtown Decatur. They re-named it to Decatur Truck and Tractor and built a new facility west of Decatur on 224 in 1968. The company shifted their focus from their agricultural base to the transportation industry in the 1990’s and has since evolved into Selking International and Idealease. Currently, there are 18 family members working in the company and a total of 225 employees. Selking International & Idealease now has eleven locations (Decatur, Muncie, Ft. Wayne, South Bend, Elkhart, Richmond, LaGrange, Greensburg, IN, Monroe, Michigan, and Bryan and Toledo, Ohio) and taking care of the customer has remained their primary ingredient for success.
Reiney and Mariann had four sons: Jerry (Wanda) Selking, Jim (Jane) Selking, John (Jane) Selking, and Joe (Ellen) Selking. They also had three daughters: Jundy (Chuck) Schiffli, Jeannie (Rick) Smith, and Joan (Mark) Okeniewski. Reiney passed away in 2016, and Mariann passed away in 2024. At the time of Mariann's passing, they had 25 grandchildren and 48 great-grandchildren, with three more on the way.
Church, family, and community were always important to Reiney and Mariann and their involvement in Decatur and Adams County reflects that commitment. Reiney served on the Adams County 4-H Council, was a 4-H NRA Certified shooting sports instructor in Adams County and had been a 4-H leader for 49 years. He was involved in the Preble Volunteer Fire Department, Wheels of Yesteryear, Decatur’s Optimist Club as well as St. Mary’s Catholic Church and St. Joseph Catholic School.
Mariann served on the St. Mary’s Arts and Environment and Beautification Committee of the St. Mary’s Church grounds and is involved with St. Joseph Catholic School. In addition, she was a St. Mary’s Catholic Church homebound Eucharistic minister. She was also involved in the Adams County 4-H Council and had been a 4-H leader for 49 years.
Reiney and Mariann said that they felt blessed throughout their lives: "This community has been good to us." They prayed this grant would benefit the community.
