Paul Q. Sivertsen age 67 of Wayne passed peacefully on Sunday, January 5, 2014.
He was born in Norfolk, Virginia and raised in New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Paul received his Bachelor of Music Degree from Denison University in Granville, Ohio with the Class of 1968. After college Paul served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. Much of his service time was spent in Naples, Italy where he married Janice Grossi whom he had met at Denison University. Their first date was at Tony’s Restaurant in Newark, Ohio. Janice went to Naples to visit Paul and they married on December 23, 1970. For their honeymoon they got a gift of Eurail Passes, and they traveled extensively throughout Europe visiting Northern Italy, the French Riviera, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
After Paul’s service in the Navy they settled in Pinckney, Michigan. Paul later received his Masters Degree in Voice from the University of Michigan. From 1982 through 1986 Paul and Janice called Pinckney home but were mostly traveling with Paul’s band. The band changed names several times but “Eye to Eye” was the longest standing name. Paul’s talent, love, and dedication to music and his band guided him as the drummer, lead singer, guitarist, and composer. He also became skilled as an audio and video engineer. In 1986 Paul and Janice moved to Wayne, New Jersey, Janice’s home town, to raise their son Paul. Paul’s career in music lead him to found his own company Rave Review Productions in Wayne that has provided the audio and video foundations for many theatrical events and concerts. He was also an assistant at the JCC in Tenafly for several years.
Paul will be remembered as a generous, giving, talented, work-a-holic with a great sense of humor. For many years he, his wife Janice, and their son Paul enjoyed working with the talented seniors in the Wayne Senior Follies, which had been founded by Jan's mother, Emily Grossi.
He was the loving husband of forty-three years to Janice (Grossi) Sivertsen; cherished father of Paul Christian Sivertsen of Wayne; dear brother of Tim Sivertsen and his wife Pam of Buffalo, NY; loved uncle of Zachery Sivertsen of Philadelphia; loved brother-in-law of Mrs. Peggy (Grossi) Shultz of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Mrs. Eileen (Grossi) Jewell, and Mrs. Nancy Wallace of Kingwood, Texas; and beloved uncle of their sons Steven and Jim Schultz, Chris and Michael Roach, and John and Ed Wallace.
