Dr. Seed was not only a gifted clinician, but also a wise and kind human being. He cared for parents' anxieties as deftly as he did our children's physical distresses. Jen, Geoff and Tim are so lucky to have been his patients! With deepest respect to his entire family.

With forever deep gratitude to Dr. Seed. He was always there for us, he was brilliant and dedicated, he valued my opinion, and I knew we were safe. My children, now adult, will adore him forever, and their trust in him provided a safe passage into their adult healthcare. He will continue to be part of my personal important memories of my life.

On behalf of myself, my husband, and my 3 children, Michael, Lori and Meryl (now in their 30s and 40s), I say, "Thank you Dr Seed for the incredible and caring care you provided!". Though I was always a worrier, I somehow always knew that my children would be OK because Dr Seed was looking out for them. I was confident he would provide the best care in the best way and I was always reassured all would be well. What a lovely man he was too; kind, gentle and genteel . I don't know if they "make them like that" anymore. He will be greatly missed. Our sympathies and best wishes to his family.

I had the pleasure of working for Bill and Dorsey at their home in Florida for many years and becoming good friends with them. When I was diagnosed with Cancer in 2001 Doc went out of his way to guide me through a very difficult time and he helped me pull through with his guidance, humor and his caring spirit! I cannot say enough how much he will be missed! He was an incredible person with a tremendous heart and I will always remember how much he did for me and how very special a person he was!
I wish the very best in this difficult time for Dorsey and family.
May God Bless You All!

As a child I was never afraid to go to the doctor. Dr. Seed was a joy who put me at ease at all times. When I was old enough to see a regular doctor as opposed to a pediatrician I remember thinking that I longed to be the only big kid in the waiting room with the donkey knowing that Dr. Seed would greet me instead of in a grown up waiting room.
He is SO fondly remembered by myself and my mother Jane Zalman. All of my love goes to your family.

Dr. Seed was our wonderful pediatrician after the births of my son and daughter, each of whom joins me in sorrow on learning of his death. Dr. Seed was a source of calm for my children to rely upon. When their home life became chaotic, they knew that there was an adult to whom they could turn if necessary. He is sorely missed.

One of the good guys! Dorsey, I remember him young and spirited. Dorothy shares with me in sending you our condolences. From his college classmate and fellow pediatrician.

Cousin Bill will be missed. I don't think I have seen him since he was an usher in my wedding (Sept 1957) but we kept in touch through Christmas cards. My deepest sympathy to all his family

Dorsey,

Dr. Seed met us in the hospital right after our son Andrew was born in 1980 and was there for us when his brother George was born in 1982 and for 19 years thereafter. We knew that if Dr. Seed was "on the case" no matter how serious the illness, everything would be OK. He was a wonderful comfort to us.

Dear Dorsey, Ralph and I are so very sorry to learn of Bill's passing. In the 50 years I have known Bill, he was always so kind and thoughtful, with his gentle sense of humor. We are thinking of you, Billy, & Stephanie, with love, Sherri and Ralph

I remember when Bill started practice. He came to my office for advice on where and how to start. We subsequently became part of a coverage group of primary care pediatricians. I remember him fondly as one of the loyal and consistent participants.

Dr. Seed was the wonderful pediatrician for our two sons, Jack (32) and Nick (29)…To this day, we laugh about Dr. Seed saying to me, their mother, "OK, Mom, time to check the 'equipment', it's probably a good idea for you to step outside"….He dealt with us with warmth and humor, but most importantly, we always knew he had the best interest of the boys and was so calm, reassuring, and competent.
Best wishes to his family; he will surely be missed. We are grateful he was in our lives.

Dr. Seed was my doctor from birth through college. Going to his office, which I did often because of asthma and severe allergies, was always a positive experience. Not many children who got allergy shots every few weeks would say that about their doctor visits. Dr. Seed had an extraordinary ability to connect with his patients. He was always wise and comforting. My relationship with him has set the standard by which I judge all other doctor relationships. No one else has come close to meeting that standard. I feel so lucky to have been his patient.

Dr Seed was a caring and smart for my two children who are now in their forties. When we had a TB alert at one of the private schools, Dr Seed came forward with good, conservative advice which spared many children from having to be medicated for a very long period of time. I feel very lucky to have had him as a guiding light and voice of reason.

Dr. Seed was pediatrician to my children, Norrie and Peter Johnson. I remember when I would call him when one of them had a fever, and he would ask, "Where does it hurt?" He always believed mothers knew better than doctors, and he told me, "I don't cure. Mother Nature cures." I am so saddened by his death and so grateful that he was in my life. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Lucy Holmes Orens (then Lucy Johnson)

Thank you for many years of support and care as my children matured. They always loved their visits to Dr. Seed and regarded you as something of a favorite "uncle." You are fondly remembered and sorely missed!
