Dear Miss Jean, Marcia, Janet, and Sarah,
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Bob. Throughout my 4 years at Camp Nashoba, I always noticed that he greatly enjoyed watching all of us campers have fun. He must have known that Camp Nashoba enriched our lives so much. I know everyone will miss him. My family will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Miss Jean, Sarah, Janet, & Marcia,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Bob. I can still remember his smile radiating from the hill as he saw the little "Apaches" march by singing. Camp Nashoba remains a special place to me and I only wish we lived closer so that my children could experience the magic that Mr. Bob was so instrumental in creating! Take comfort in your memories and the positive influence he had in the thousands of children that passed through your backyard!
With sympathy, Kristin Wrye Blume

Dear Miss Jean, Janet, Sarah and Marcia,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. I was very saddened to here of Mr. Bob’s passing. Forever will his words of wisdom and the values he instilled be a great part of my life. I was fortunate to have been able to see Bob quite often when he came by the dealership.
The memories of Mr. Bob on the “Hill”, his presence seemingly large, but at the same time caring and gentle, as he cared for and loved every person who passed through the front gates of Camp, will always be held close. I spent more time on the “Hill” as counselor then as a camper. It was those times that Mr. Bob would provide great words of wisdom. Reflecting back in time, I remember being picked up in the family station wagon in my driveway excited to go Camp. Years later I did the same in my own car, picking up campers. I will never forget how excited those kids were to see my car in their driveway, knowing that the day ahead would be filled with lots of fun. They would remind me of my child hood memories as a camper.
With great passion, Bob would stand on the “Hill”, watching over us, and making sure that every camper and counselor would have the best experience possible.
At the end of the summer, on the last day of camp, I remember how some would shed tears. Those tears of sadness were a sign that summer was over, and for those who we knew would not be returning next year. As Camp started once again, those who would return brought smiles and stories of the year past. As we all have stories of how Mr. Bob touched our lives, we will shed some tears and share some laughs remembering his great personality and smile.
Even though the buildings have changed, the values remain the same. Mr. Bob and the Seaward family have touched the lives of so many. Thank You for the great memories at Camp.
With Love and Sympathy,
Jimmy Keefe

Dear Miss Jean, Marcia, Janet, and Sarah,
My thoughts are with your family. I will always remember the words of your father and his encouragement for me to complete college. In my sixteen years of teaching I am reminded almost daily of my fourteen years with the Seaward/Nashoba family. I am just one in a large crowd that was allowed to realize I am supposed to be working with children as a career. I thank you all for that opportunity.

Dear Jean, Marcia, Janet, and Sarah,
My thoughts are with you at this time and also filled with great memories. I was so lucky to spend 5 great summers working at Camp Nashoba under Bob's leadership. He took pride in having the best camp and also was a great mentor to the counselors that worked for him. His humor and the vision of him every day on the hill stays with me to this day. I am sure you will be spending alot time sharing great memories for years to come, I know I will. Warmest regards to you and all your family during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Tom & Maryjane Durkin

Dear Ms. Jean, Marcia, Janet, and Sarah,
My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. Last August I saw Mr. Bob at a coffee shop and shared conversation, his great smile and lot's of memories. I am grateful for that time as well as my treasured 12 years at Camp Nashoba as Ms Anne.
To watch the passion, hard work, and love that went into Camp on a daily basis was a priviledge.
My children Max, Leigh, Tyler, and Morgan are forever blessed.
With Deepest Sympathy, Ms Anne

Dear Jean, Marcia, Janet & Sarah:
I am sorry for your loss. Bob's presence on "The Hill" always loomed large. It was only when I was older and looked harder that I remarked that his smile was there more often than it was not.
For Lawlors over the span of two decades Mr. Bob was a boss, a guide and a friend.
You, his daughters, are very worthy successors.

Memories of Mr. Seaward go back to his being a Jr. High Guidance Counselor in Concord in the early 1960's. Through the years, I always enjoyed meeting up with him; and catching up. How very fortunate you have been to be blessed with a wonderful man in your lives. My heartfelt sympathy to his family. May your memories be sweet and bring a smile, even through your tears.

Dear Miss Jean, Marcia, Janet and Sarah,
You are in my thoughts. Camp has been such a special place for me. Since I was a little girl on the other side of the pond watching the kids boating, I have always marveled at the magic that happens there. The years that I spent at camp with you and Bob, were magical for me, they changed and influenced the person I am today. Bob always had wonderful advice to give, and he gave it with the wisdom that only someone on the Hill could. I thank you and Bob for your friendship and support through the years. I thank you for giving me many wonderful memories and sharing your family. I know that these memories will sustain you.
All My Love, Kristen Holt Donovan

Miss Jean, Sarah, Janet and Marcia,
I just heard the news and wanted to send a quick note to say that I was thinking of all of you.
I, like so many others before and after me, were shaped by the ideals and commitment of Camp Nashoba. But it wasn't the buildings or the activites that shaped me (us).
It was the Seaward Family.
Thank you for letting me into your Family for all those years. Whether it was Pre camp maintenance or Friday afternoon Ice Coffee...the times were treasured.
I was a pretty lucky guy.
Love,
Jim Anderson
P.S. my kids still call adults by "Mr. and Miss"!
