Jack was retired from BASF and enjoyed spending his free time playing golf, gardening, taking trips and visiting with old friends.  One of his routines in more recent years was joining friends for breakfast at McDonalds on Tuesday mornings.  Being raised on a golf course, Jack was a natural on the links and accomplished two hole-in-ones and several club championships in his time.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother Jim Seiler.

Jack is survived by his wife of 57 years, Kay (Birt) Seiler of Greenville.  They were married March 23, 1959.  Also children Jenny (Jack) Clark of Arcanum, Mark (Erin) Seiler of Springfield, Ohio and Michael (Cyndi) Seiler of Key West, Florida; grandchildren Katie (Tom) Gabbard, Daniel Clark, Molly Clark, Adam Seiler, Andrew Seiler and Aubree Smith; brother Dick (Phyllis) Seiler of Greenville, Jack’s favorite dog “Dixie” as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
