Honoring Paul Oreffice; 1927 - 2024
We celebrate the life and legacy of Paul Oreffice, a visionary leader and former CEO of Dow, whose impact continues to shape Midland, Michigan, and beyond.
Oreffice was instrumental in the creation of the Midland Tennis Center, which began with six courts and fewer than 50 players.
Thanks to his dedication, the center expanded into a thriving community hub, featuring an outdoor complex with a pavilion that proudly bears his name—a lasting tribute to his commitment to enriching Midland’s community.
“How far we've come since there were four of us playing on dirt courts near Main Street, thinking there had to be a better way."
