We send our heartfelt condolences to the entire Seidl family. Rick loved his family dearly. He spoke of the vacations he and his wife took and was looking forward to a trip in 2014. He was very proud of his children and spoke highly of their independence and achievements. His positive motivating force is remembered. We wish the family peace. Respectfully, Tonia Gordon, REXAM HR Dept.
Rick was a great guy and he will be missed! My thoughts and prayers go out to the Seidl family! RIH Rick Seidl Randi Knight
Rick was a wonderful guy. I wish I got a chance to play a round of golf with him n my condolences go out to his family.
One thing I will remember about Rick is his sharp mind. The man was full of trivia! It truly seemed like he was so full of knowledge on any subject. He loved to read and was always exercising his mind. I always admired that. I always wished I could have an answer like he did.
We enjoyed going to the festivals and seeing Rick and all of the displays with his woodworking projects. He was funny, kind, and fair. He will be dearly missed.
There wasn’t a day that I saw Rick where we didn’t play ‘Name the drummer and bass player from this band’. Really gonna miss that. He was a great guy. My heart goes out to his family. I like to think he is sitting up there right now talking with all those musicians we spoke of.
Rick always liked leaving work as quickly as possible, but he made sure on his last day to wish everyone he could a happy Thanksgiving. That showed his true character and that is the Rick I will remember. My condolences to the family and friends he spoke of often and treasured so deeply.
Rick was a wonderful person who always had a smile on his face. He spoke of his family with love in his heart. A new star shines bright tonight. He will be terribly missed.
Rick was my first coordinator at rexam when I started as a temp over 3 years ago, if it weren’t for him seeing potential in me, I may not have stayed there and been hired on. Rick was a good man and will be deeply missed. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and co-workers for this loss. I’ll bet he’s up there right now reading a big thick book. Prayers to everyone affected
Prayers go out to Ricks family. I’ll remember Rick always taking his time to stop saying hi and have a good night,smiling every time on his way out of work at shift change. He will be missed.
Rick was my boss for nearly 8 years. He always had a joke to tell and was always smiling. I’ll always remember our conversations about roller coasters and old rock and roll music. You will be dearly missed Rick. Thoughts and prayers to the Seidls.
Rick was my boss for only about a year before he went to days! I didn’t get to know him very well, but I know a lot of people who would talk highly of him! I know he will be deeply missed and my condolenses go out to his family! RIP Rick!
Ric was my boss when I came to the night shift a couple years ago. He was always firm but fair and always took time to laugh. He could do a mean Rodney Dangerfield. I really enjoyed working with Ric. I was glad he was able to get a day shift position and I know he enjoyed it as well. I missed Ric when he went to days and I looked forward to the chance of working with him again on nights. He will be dearly missed at work. My prayers are with his family left behind that they take comfort in knowing he is now on the best vacation he’s ever been on and never has to come back from it.
RICK LOVED THE LORD! HE LOVED PATTI, AND HIS FAMILY. HE LOVED LIFE. RICK WAS MY STAR CRAFTER AND THE ANDERSON ORCHARD APPLE FESTIVAL WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. I WILL NEVER FORGET HIS SMILE. IT WAS SPECIAL AND SO WAS RICK. CAROLYN ANDERSON
What a shock it was to find out about Rick. We had become good friend and enjoyed many common interest. Rick loved train’s, wood working and had a great sense of humor that was incredible and hilarious. I had recently called him and we were planning to go to a train show. Rick my friend you will always be missed and fondly remembered. I will always remember the Christian brother and friend that you were and still are.
Always loved talking to Rick. We both had a love for Sultans Run and Southern Indiana. It was always a pleasure to converse with him and it will be dearly missed. We wish Rick’s family the best. Jack and Susan Bryant
