William is a US Army veteran of World War II and Korea, where he earned several medals, including the European African Middle Eastern Service Medal, National defense service medal, World War II victory medal, and a good conduct medal. He was also awarded a “Ruptured Duck” lapel button for his honorable service during World War II. When William returned from battle, he took up the trade of painter and paperhanger and became the proud business owner of Wm. Seirfert Painting and paper hanging. He never really retired because he would happily help anyone he could with his talents.
In addition to his parents, William was greeted in heaven by; four brothers: Harry, Raymond, Francis and Daniel Seifert; five sisters: Florence Bergman, Katie Fetter, Mable Forster, Edith Beam and Betty Worley. His spirit is carried on by his brother Paul Seifert and a host of nieces and nephews.
