Paul Seifert passed away on December 16, 2021. He is survived and dearly missed by his loving wife of 60-years, Janice, his two daughters and sons-in-law, Cassie and Guy Wuollet and Terri and Bob Pollock, three grandchildren, four siblings, and many life-long friends.
Paul was born in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, the second child of Stanley and Rose Seifert. During his childhood, the family relocated to Wells, Minnesota, where he lived until graduating from Wells High School at the age of 16. Paul then entered the U.S. Navy where he was stationed in Cuba and proudly served his country for three years. After completing his military service, he attended the University of Minnesota where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in business and met and married, Jan.
Paul spent his career in automotive industry sales and management positions with 3M, Essex Chemical/Specialty Products, and Dow Chemical. His strong business acumen, leadership, drive, and winning way with people led to success and advancement to executive roles. His career took him to many parts of the world including China, Australia, and Europe. It also brought several transfer opportunities, and the family relocated from Minnesota to Colorado, Michigan, and New Jersey.
After retiring, Paul and Jan moved to Florida to pursue their love of golf, fishing, and time with friends. He was also an avid bowler, reader, student of world affairs, traveler, lover of finance, and dedicated fan of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball and Detroit Lions football teams.
Paul will always be remembered for his love of family and friends, good conversation, and interest in others. His wisdom, generosity, and loyalty helped to nurture and support his strong and loving family.
