Jack Seitz
( September 15, 1937 - October 27, 2017 )
“Jack” John Seitz, 80, of Topeka, passed away October 27, 2017. Jack was born on September 15, 1937 in Delia, Kansas to John Seitz and Alice Czerny. Not to be confused with his father and grandfather everyone called him Jackie. After he left the family farm he decided that Jack would be a more fitting description of his gender, and therefore became known as “Jack Seitz”.
Jack hit the tarmac running! After graduation from Delia in 1955 he spent 12 months attending classes at Clarks Business College in Topeka and taking some other business classes at Pierce College.

Jack’s first job after graduating from high school was at Stormont Vail hospital as an assistant credit manager. He moved on to the Kansas National Guard in 1957 and then to the Martin Company in 1960. In 1962 he moved to California and worked as a junior expediter for Rocket dyne. Jack moved back to Topeka in 1965 to be with his kids in Topeka and the rest is history. He opened the Twilighter and the Four Seasons and made Old Town Motors.

Jack became a North Topeka entrepreneur and became a very will know figure in the North Topeka area. Jack had a lot of unique qualities. He had many friends and never knew a stranger. He was always helping someone and never turned down a request for assistance. Jack had 6 children, and each has their own experience or story that they could relate. John, the oldest, had several incidents that he thought would be interesting to share. The first was that during the summer 1975 while working at Old Town Motors in North Topeka he made a deal with John by letting him buy two cars and put them on the lot. That’s how he was to be compensated for working, at the end of the first week the only two cars that were sold that week were John’s. he told John that we need to have a talk. Jack did not let him buy any cars until the next month.
