Richard Selby Obituary
Born on March 20, 1947, Richard dedicated much of his life to his career as a plumber with UA Plumber's Local 98. Beyond his professional life, Richard was passionate about his hobbies, including fishing, hunting, and trap and skeet shooting. Among his greatest memories were trips to Montana and Africa and his time at "the club," where many cherished friendships were made. He was also an avid pool player and woodworker.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Francis Selby of Harper Woods, Michigan. He is survived by his two daughters, Melissa Selby-Theut (Noah) and Erica Selby-Cook (Bradley), as well as his three grandchildren, Miles, Delaney, and Emery. Richard will be laid to rest at Cadillac Memorial Cemetery in Clinton Township, Michigan.

My sympathies go out to Richard`s family. I´ll truly miss him he was my Fathers 1st cousin linked by two great women Francis& Margaret. I only met him a few times in my life but being a young man with not a hole lot of family on that side I enjoyed our conversations, regardless of how minuscule they were.
I´ll miss you Richard till we see each other again. Love you Cuz
