"BOBBY" SEITTER

Robert "Bobby" Wright Seitter, Sr., 81 of Wilmington, passed away Saturday, December 29, 2012 at the Lower Cape Fear Hospice & LifeCareCenter.

He was born in Greensboro, NC, on July 1, 1931. His parents were the late Albert G. Seitter and Margaret W. Seitter. He was preceded in death by a brother, Roger Seitter.

Bobby was a member of St. Matthews Lutheran Church of Wilmington. He retired from Babcock and Wilcox and later retired from Godwin Lumber Co. Bobby had a fascination of planes and anything to do with the military. He served with the Navy Reserve and was a member of the Navy League and ANA. He loved people and enjoyed socializing. He was a member of the famous Whiteys Round Table Club. Bobby was a strong willed man, when he set his mind on something, nothing could stop him. He was an inspiration to all who knew him and never passed up a chance to make you laugh with his sense of humor. Bobby will be fondly remembered and dearly missed, but cherished memories will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

He is survived by four children, Brenda M. Seitter, Mike Seitter, Robert Seitter, Jr., and June S. Little; seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren, one brother David Seitter, his former wife, Christine Landen, his family of caregivers and loving companion "Fred".

A celebration of life ceremony will be held at 2:00 pm, Wednesday, January 2, 2013, at St. Matthews Lutheran Church officiated by Rev. Dale Kemppainen and Rev. Marvin Schedler.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Matthews Lutheran Church of Wilmington.

Memories and Condolences
for Robert Seitter

Not sure what to say?





Bobby was such an inspiration to the staff and patients at PT Services.When other patients realized what he had to overcome, it made their situations seem not so insurmountable. Many of them also recognized him from Gold's gym, where he was also an inspiration. He knew so many people, I used to tease him that he should run for mayor. We had many interesting conversations about his air base visits, his exploits as a young man, politics, his dog Fred, and his pride in his children and grandchildren. I will always remember him, and miss him. With sincere sympathy to his entire family

I am so very sorry about the loss of your father. My heart goes out to you and your family. I wish I could have been there to tell you myself at the service, but know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let Scittie and I know if there is anything we can do for you or your family. Sincerely,
