In Memoriam: Allen Serafin

Allen John Serafin : November 20, 1945 - January 10, 2019 Allen Serafin, one of the original owners of Flyte Tyme Limousine, passed away on January 10, 2019.

Serafin founded Flyte Tyme in 1979, and was part of the company until his retirement in 2008. In addition to being a devoted member and active advocate for the Limousine Association of New Jersey, Serafin was one of the founding members of the National Limousine Association, and remained a committed member until his passing.

Serafin was father to four daughters, three of whom followed his footsteps in the luxury ground transportation industry. His familial ties to the industry spread further when his daughter Michelle married David Seelinger of EmpireCLS in 2002. The following year, Serafin became the father-in-law to industry veteran Tim Rose, whom his daughter Doreen married in 2003.

With the family involved with two of the largest and most successful companies in the industry with EmpireCLS and Flyte Tyme Worldwide Transportation, Seelinger and Rose acknowledged that Serafin created a limo family dynasty and was a true father figure.

Serafin is survived by his wife Teresa, four daughters, 21 grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter.

Despite close affiliation with luxury cars thanks to his long tenure in the industry, Serafin loved to be on his boat on the water, and was a member of the Coast Guard auxiliaries in New York and Florida.

The Chauffeur Driven team would like to extend their condolences to Serafin’s family and friends.
