Our dad lived life to the fullest. He was always working on a new project and racing off to the next big adventure. He was a very talented, hardworking and generous person. He loved traveling and spending time in other countries and getting to know the people there. He enjoyed helping people and would often stop and assist strangers, buying them groceries or just trying to lighten their loads if he could. Many times he would include friends and family in a special project such as sponsoring specially equipped wheelchairs for people who could not afford them. Dad impacted the lives of many people and made many friends all over the world. He will be sorely missed.
Scuba and treasure diving were passions that he got to indulge in for the last two decades for fun as well as for business, bringing him so much happiness. He loved sharing some of the small treasures he found with his family and friends.
He leaves behind many loved ones including: his wife, Cristina Seliger & children Piero and Valeria; his children: Nicole (Keith) Kopelson, William (Diana) Seliger, Daniel (Staci) Seliger, Jenny Miller, Stefanie Max, Jeffery (Angie) Seliger, Jenifer (Don) Masterson, Douglas Seliger, Luke Seliger, Annie Seliger, Kiri Seliger; many grandchildren: Carlie, Samantha, Megan, Sydni, Brayden, Baylee, Emilee, Bridger, Ty, Aidan, Cristian, Ronan, Ellie, Eva, Colin, and Avery.; as well as his father, William G. Seliger and his siblings: Sandra Rodas, Lisa (Stan) South, Kyle (Timothy) Caruthers, Pamela (Jared) Olschewski, Barton (Krissana) Seliger and Tracy (Robert ) Armstrong and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother Bonnie M. Seliger.
