FRANCIS SEERY Obituary
Frank graduated from Phillips Andover Academy in 1953, and received his Bachelor's degree from Amherst College in 1957. Frank was a veteran of the U.S. Navy.
Frank was a longtime communicant of St. Joseph Parish in Needham, where he was a Eucharistic minister, lector, cantor, CCD teacher, and part-time organist.
For over 30 years, he was a marketing executive at Honeywell, Inforex, GTE Sylvania, and Digital Equipment Corp. After retirement, he began a new career in human services as the director of the Crossroads Family Shelter in East Boston, and thereafter worked for many years serving those with disabilities at Cape Abilities, and at the Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center in Hopkinton.
Frank's Catholic faith was foremost in his life, followed by his devotion to his family. He was an accomplished pianist and organist, and an avid gardener. His work with disabled and disadvantaged people was his avocation and where he found the greatest fulfillment in life.

Frank adored "his Honey of a wife" and brought so many smiles and laughter to his fellow residents as well as staff at Carmel Terrace Assisted Living. Everyone enjoyed his playfulness with Honey, and their sweet relationship was obvious. His impromptu piano playing was fantastic. His obituary reflects his kind and generous heart--availing himself to those in need. I'm not surprised. That is completely Frank. I will never forget Frank and Honey's squirt gun fight at a picnic here--it was pure joy. I am grateful to have known him. I am so very sorry for your loss. He will always be with you.

Mr. Seery,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USN during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
