My condolences to Rhoda and Leonard on the passing of Seymour, husband and father. I had met Seymour once at their home on a visit with my mother, Gertrude Price who was a dear friend to Rhoda and Rhoda to my mother. My impression of Seymour was a handsome, kind and very talented man.

When my mother was ill Rhoda always called to inquire on how Gert was doing. Perhaps this is not the time to voice this but Rhoda and my mother had a great group of women friends who all worked together. They all formed close friendships and the laughs were endless. I was fortunate to enjoy all of their company at times. I know my mother would have wanted to comfort Rhoda and I am happy to do so in her stead. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Dear Rhoda

I have good memories of going “motor” boating and skiing with Seymour at the beach when I was about 10-14 y/o. It was a great break from sailing. And I remember you both attending my wedding in ‘83 as close friends with my parents. Thanks for always being friendly to me.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I will miss him walking up and down the street, gardening or just sitting on the porch.
He was so gentle and kind. Keep all the loving memories in your heart.
May he rest in peace.
