Richard E. Sellick

GALLUPVILLE — Richard E. Sellick was proud to be a registered vascular technologist and was a classic car fan. He died on Friday, June 26, 2015 at St. Peter’s Hospital surrounded by his family. He was 45.

Mr. Sellick was born on July 7, 1969, in Albany to Richard E. and Barbara Johnston Sellick. He graduated from Schoharie High School and attended Hudson Valley Community College.

Mr. Sellick married his wife, Trish (née Barton) Sellick, on Sept. 9, 1994.

Mr. Sellick worked at Saratoga Cardiology Associates and was a member of the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.

“He was a classic car fan committed to keeping his old Pontiac going,” his family wrote in a tribute. Mr. Sellick was also liked to attend car shows, they wrote.

“He also enjoyed restoring his home with his wife, Trish, on Sellick Road; tending the gardens and cooking for family and friends; traveling; coin collecting; and exploring,” his family wrote.
