Ralph "Bill" Seib

Ralph "Bill" Seib, 79 years of age, of Camdenton, Missouri, passed away peacefully May 8, 2025 in Sullivan, Missouri.
Bill was born in Fredericktown, Missouri to Charles "Ed" Seib and Lucille Seib.
He had two cats, Baby Baby and Pumpkin of Camdenton, Missouri. Two daughters, Christina "Tina" Seib (Ryan Pratt) of Camdenton, Missouri and Charlotte Rene Dittman (Seib), of St. Louis, Missouri. They also have two grandchildren, Jacob Dittman and Alyssa Dittman of Kansas City, Missouri.
Bill moved to St. Louis, Missouri where he met and married Donetta L. Owens in 1966. They then had their daughter, Christina "Chrissy" "Tina" Seib. After Bill and Cathy left their first marriages, they found their soulmate and love of their lives in each other, each with a daughter, Tina and Renè.
Bill was a Teamster and an over the road truck driver as well as the Secretary of the Local Teamsters. He then became a young entrepreneur and opened his own trucking company called A.Y.S. (At Your Service) Delivery, based out of St. Louis, Missouri. He was ambitious and hardworking and that led to his success and he was able to sell his company within six years of its formation to Lanter Trucking based out of Madison, Illinois. At the request by Lanter, Bill would stay with the company to manage the operations. The company continued to grow and develop new operations during his time there. Bill retired at the ripe age of fifty. He left Lanter with many offices across the United States, fifteen-hundred OTR trucks, too many customers to mention, including Dierberg's and Hershey Chocolate Company.
Bill was a Shriner for many years and was very passionate about raising funds for The Shriner's Children's Hospital. He was part of the YOMO with the Masons's club for the Shriners Hospital; travelling to all the parades to raise awareness for Shriner's Hospital and participated in every Shriner's circus at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri.
He also volunteered countless hours at Dogwood Animal Shelter and supported many other animal care facilities in the area.
Bill and Cathy spent a lot of time with their daughters, vacationing at the Lake of the Ozarks over the years, as they loved everything about boating and being out on the water. They relocated from St. Louis to the Ozarks in 1995 and enjoyed many years living the "Lake Life" and enjoyed countless outings on their boat together.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Lucille Seib; as well as his wife, Cathy Seib on January 20, 2023.
