I am the niece of Randy’s brother in law Don, so I have known Karen and Randy for most of my life. As a child, some of my fondest memories included swimming at camp with my cousin and Randy, he was full of jokes, he was 15 years older so always the adult around the kids but definitely a big kid at heart. Summer, pie nights, Christmas etc, I was always glad to see both of them but as kids it was super cool that Randy was coming to town. Thanks for telling me my first of many clean and dirty jokes. Thanks for your stories and your presence. You were one cool cat! Xo ♥️😘
“ I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd. You’re gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud!
Just like the words in this song, Randy did it his way and lived while he was alive! Rock on!! ♥️
Growing up I was a Bayside friend with the Sellner Family and was welcome at their home. We had some great times in Bayside and at Cathedral School.
My Condolences to the entire Sellner Family
Met Randy once when he was with Karen at home Depot in south Portland. Karen was my longtime oncology nurse at Mercy hospital
To the Sellner family my heart goes out to all of you for your recent loss. Even though I only met Randy once Karen was my long time oncology nurse at Mercy fore river.she told me stories of her family and will never forget the love she shared.if there is any thing I can do please drop me a call
From what I heard from his wife he was a very loving husband that will be missed by all who knew him
I met Randy while I was working at Mercy Oncology with his wife, Karen. He would call the office to chit chat with Karen but before she could talk to him, whoever answered the phone first had an opportunity to get in a laugh or two! One of many memories! Condolences to Karen and his families. He will be greatly missed. Beth and Ricky
Karen,
There are no words to say how much Randy was loved. He always had a smile on his face and a joke on his mind! You never knew what he would say next! He was a good friend. We already miss him. We will always be around if you need us. Love, Beth and Ricky.
Sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man.
Worked with Randy at IDEXX his entire career, loved chatting with him as he was always such a positive spirit.
wish we kept in touch over the years.
growing up he hung out with my brothers.
Randy was a long time family friend. i remember the parties on mayo street and how he was so funny. RIP my friend.
My condolences to Randy’s family. It was always a pleasure to see him at IDEXX. And quite often you could hear him singing before you saw him!
Randy told me about a shirt company Crazy Shirts he thought I would like too. So when I was traveling, I came across one of their stores and knew I had to bring one back for him. May his songs continue in the hearts of his loved ones.
Dear Karen,
I am so very saddened to learn of Randy’s passing. He was joy to know. I loved seeing you two together.
Praying for peace and comfort,
Helen

Randy was one of the most important friend in my life. We grow up together Bayside. He always made me laugh. Randy, Brian and I wear The three amigos. We laughed so hard at times we would cry. He was a very loving husband and friend who I could never replace. We were always hanging out together. We used to play Little league together and it was pretty good at baseball. But there was always a joke I would tease him about stuff and he would give it right back to me. I love him so much I wish I’d have been able to show him more. Randy was one of the people that never complained about anything. I love you Randy and Karen my prayers are sent to you with more meaning that you know. ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Rest in peace my friend
My sympathies to the Sellner family. Randy was a kind and gentle soul. Always had a smile for me. I will always treasure the St. Louis Cardinal baseball shirt he gave me. It was part of his collection but he knew I was a fan.

My brother Randy! Words can’t express the high’s and lows that we experienced throughout life! Anyone from a large and competitive family might be able to relate!? I could literally write a book of my experience’s with my brother, but I‘ll keep them to myself as there are way too many to share! However, I will say this. Until you see someone you truly love suffering and there isn’t a dam thing that you can do about you will never truly know pain nor how powerless we really are!! He told me he was scared, and as I looked into his eyes God gave me strength to tell him, you have no reason to be afraid, you have been a good man and you have led a good life! Go in peace brother knowing you are loved!! Typical Randy, he said thanks! I love you Ronny!!
I’m so sorry to hear of Randy’s passing. I would see him around IDEXX and he was such a friendly face. Always had a laugh and a smile. He really was a bright spot in a persons day. I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Thinking of you all.
Rest in Peace old friend. I will never forget the times we spent working at the house in Hollis, building the shed and helping you finish the basement. Loved talking music and drums with you as well. Your beat will always go on!
