Paul Seide
Paul Seide, a kind and gentle man, passed away peacefully at home on February 7, 2014. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Joan, in 2009. Paul was born in 1926 in New York. He and Joan were married in 1951. They came to California in 1952 where Paul received his PhD from Stanford. They relocated to Southern California in 1953 when Paul began working at Ramo Wooldridge (later TRW). Paul and Joan moved to Palos Verdes Estates in 1959. In 1966 Paul became a Professor of Civil Engineering at USC where he worked until his retirement in 1991. Paul and Joan passionately enjoyed traveling. Favorite trips included China, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Russia, Israel, Turkey, Egypt and Peru. They also loved the theater and were Mark Taper and Ahmanson season ticket holders for decades. We will miss Paul's intellect, his humor, his commentaries on politics, and Sunday dinners together. Paul is survived by his son, Rick (Pam) Seide, daughter Wendy (Barry) Kielsmeier, and grandsons, Chris and Jon Seide, and Matthew (Megan) and David Kielsmeier. A Memorial Service will be held on February 16, 2014 at 1:00PM, at Green Hills Mortuary Chapel. Please sign the guestbook at www.dailybreeze.com/obits.
