I remember Seymour as a very quiet and soft spoken man. A wise man. I met Seymour about 35 years ago. He was one of my first teachers of God's words of truth. He took over for my first study conductor who moved away to Georgia. Seymour stepped right in and helped me complete my second publication helping me get baptized . We always had good discussions about many things. He loved to tell stories. I recall how he loved creation, the beautiful flowers and plants that he often commented on . One of his favorite animals was one of my nemesis (squirrels). They would irritate me by always biting holes in my trash cans and knocking over plants and uprooting them. I detested them. When I complained to Seymour about it, he would say in that low voice and smile " I don't like them either, unless they are on a plate with some rice and some 40 weight gravy". He'd smile and go back to the lesson. He was a good brother and friend. I know I will see him again soon in the resurrection. Love and prayers to all the family.
