To Sylvia and family: I send my deepest sympathies to you all on the passing of your beloved Morris Seide..He was the most kind and capable physician I have ever known..He treated my parents and myself many years ago and there hasn't been a doctor like him since.He had a great sense of humor and when I saw you at OKLAHOMA last year he seemed to have hardly aged at all.so it is a great shock to read of his death. My late husband Jerry and I always will remember how he sponsored us for membership into the Golf Club of Avon..He was the finest example of what it means to be a doctor..

Sylvia, Do not mourn. Rejoice in having been an important part of Morris' wonderful life. He was not just my physician, but my friend--a man who lit up every room he entered and also every heart he touched. Know that in some small way I share your grief at this time. Jim

To The Seide Family

When I was principal of Hall High School I admired Dr. Seide's dedication as a respected medical doctor and appreciated his excellence as a devoted parent. His interest in the school was exemplary. I was pleased with his constructive suggestions. He made a positive difference and was a great asset. You are on my mind and have my sympathy. You are credits to his influence and example.

I will miss the gentleman in the brightly colored pants, carrying his clubs who played early morning golf with me at Rockledge.The golf balls in the ponds will now sit in the water without him there to fish them out. He was a joy to know. My condolences to his family. Joan McNulty

Morris was a dear friend as well as an outstanding physician! He took wonderful care of Dario & me. We have never had such a caring professional ~ probably because there aren't any more like him: he was truly unique.

We were referred to him when we first arrived in CT in 1971 and we felt so comfortable depending on him all those years ! We also of course remember fondly the golf and dinner dates with the Seides, Nations and Hills.

Sylvia, I hope that you and your family find comfort in your memories of such a wonderful human being and the fact that so many of his - and your - friends are holding you in their loving thoughts.
