Obituary Richard Dale Selfe Jr,
Richard Dale Selfe Jr, (Rick) passed away on January 12, 2026, at UPMC Williamsport, Williamsport PA surrounded by his loving family. Born in Lock Haven on September 20, 1946, he was the son of Richard Dale Selfe Sr and Betty Shaffer Selfe. Rick attended Robb Elementary School and graduated from Lock Haven High School in 1965. He met his beautiful wife Marie Reinsch in high school, and they married on June 29, 1968.
Rick had a love for cars and spent his life fixing and painting cards. He worked as an auto mechanic at several garages Casselberry’s Don Spangle Ford and Kmart where he was awarded employee of the month in 1991. In 2002 he opened Rick’s Auto Repair where customers were treated like family retiring in 2023. He could be seen on sunny day riding in his Mustang with the top down enjoying the sunshine.
Rick loved his family, friends and talking to people. Known for his sense of humor and his willingness to always play cards or Yatzee. He enjoyed his morning walks at Walmart always with a smile, saying hello and making new friends along the way. Volunteering at Riverfest selling Duck Derby tickets for 20 years was a way for him to give back to Riverview Park a place where he walked often. He enjoyed being outdoors and cutting firewood with his nephew John. He enjoyed talking to and being served at Ruby Tuesdays by his favorite waitress Paige.
He loved to get out of town traveling to many different states. Taking trips with Marie to Atlantic City, Scranton and New York were things he enjoyed most. His favorites being the 25th wedding anniversary trip in Las Vegas and his 75th birthday trip to Atlantic City with his daughter.
