The class lost Dick on May 5, 2001, at the age of 80.

A native of South Orange, N.J., he lived in Maplewood before moving to Chester some 30 years ago.

During WWII, Dick served with distinction in the Navy, and participated in the Normandy invasion of 1944.

A member of the Newark Rotary Club, Dick was owner and president of the Seidler Chemical Co. in Newark from 1947 until he retired in 1998.

Dick's wife, Jean, predeceased him. Survivors include three daughters, Diane Shapiro, Barbara Faigle, and Cathy Seidler; a son, Richard Jr.; and five grandchildren.

To the entire family, we offer our most heartfelt condolences.
