Obituary for
STEPHEN JOSEPH SEINER
January 8, 1935 – April 18, 2017
Stephen Joseph Seiner, 82 of Troy, MI passed away April 18, 2017. He died
peacefully in the presence of his family. Steve was born January 8, 1935 in Dearborn
to Stephen and Sophia (Len) Seiner. He was the eldest of two siblings. Steve received
his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the Lawrence Institute of
Technology and earned a master's degree from Chrysler Institute. His professional
career began at age eight when he worked as a newspaper delivery boy earning $5 a
week. He later moved on to Chrysler Defense for 2 years before becoming an
engineer for General Motors for 42 years. During his tenure at GM, he had the
opportunity to travel to various parts of the United States and the world, and he was
heavily involved in assisting the company with operations in both Mexico and China.
Prior to his work at General Motors, he briefly served in the U.S. Army.He married the
love of his life, Alice Ann Preczewski, on August 22, 1959. The couple met at a dance
where Steve was playing in the band. He wooed his wife with his masterful accordion
skills, and the two went on to make beautiful music together for 57 years. He was
extraordinarily proud of his three children, Marcie Johnson (Royce), Stephen (Tiziana),
and Joseph (Megan) and absolutely adored his seven grandchildren, Matthew,
Stephen, and Eric Johnson, Simone, and Jude Seiner, and Joseph and Mary Elizabeth
Seiner. In addition to his immediate family, he is survived by many nieces and
nephews.
He was an avid baseball card collector and loved traveling to Burt Lake to fish in the
great outdoors. He and Alice rescued many basset hounds throughout their lives
(although he would say that the bassets rescued him). He loved reading about history
and always enjoyed a good mystery novel. Steve also loved listening to various types
of music, and always had a particular affinity for Elvis Presley with whom he shared
the exact same birthday.
Preceding him in death were his parents and his one brother, Gerald.
A visitation will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Troy, Michigan on
