Robert Arthur Seefeldt, of Woodbridge, Virginia, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2020 while receiving hospice care. Bob, as he was more commonly known, was born in Marietta, Minnesota and grew up on a farm where he developed a lifelong love of agriculture that would shape his future career. Despite growing up during the Depression in a home with no electricity or running water, Bob always spoke fondly of those years, and even wrote a memoir of his childhood experiences to share with the extended family.
After a three year stint with the Army Security Agency, Bob used the G.I. Bill to fund his studies at the University of Minnesota. Bob was the first member of his family to earn a college degree. An indifferent student in high school, Bob discovered he loved teaching. He taught high school Agriculture Education in Ivanhoe, MN for a decade and went on to earn a M.S. degree in Agriculture Education from the University of Maryland in 1967. He later went to work at the national headquarters of Future Farmers of America in Alexandria, VA. He worked there as a program specialist for decades before his retirement in 1996.
