Obituary of Paul Joseph Seidman

Paul Joseph Seidman, age 67, of Union, Kentucky passed away June 10, 2024. Paul was a proud son of Brooklyn, New York and a noted expert in the culinary arts. An Elder at Union Presbyterian Church in Union, Kentucky, he was a man of faith and tremendous love for family and friends.  Paul was an avid reader, possessing a very extensive library of global cuisine. He was an old-time radio fan and loved playing chess. Paul had a love of travel and was fortunate enough to travel the world. He was all about family, always teaching lessons, such as the importance of a strong work ethic and keeping a moral compass, financial responsibility, making wise decisions, and giving to others. Paul was the epitome of hospitality. He was passionate about food and wine. No gathering was complete without his delicious meals and genuine conversations. He made everyone feel like family. Paul's legacy is one of inspiration and emulation—a true testament to a life well-lived.
