John Seman Obituary

Our greatest of the greatest generation stepped away at age 96 on March 17, leaving to cherish the memories of his goodness and innate kindness a grateful family: Pamela, his wife, a marriage in its 70th year; children Cynthia Hessin, Denver; John Paul Seman, Jr. -Jep- (Terry Jo Epstein) and their daughters, Jordan, Caroline, Abigail, Denver; Jennifer Saffo (Paul L.), San Francisco; Ann Penelope deRham (Stephen L.) and their daughters, Olivia, Eva, Jacqueline, Seattle. He was born to Eva and John Seman in Cleveland, and is survived by sister Dorothy (Sister Mary Judith Seman, Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, St. Thomas à Becket, Jefferson Hills, PA), brother Ronald J. Seman (MaryAnn), Parma Heights, OH, and extended kin partout. A private family service was held at Christ the King Episcopal Church, Arvada, where he was an active, contributing member for more than 50 years. Committal will be at Fort Logan National Cemetery. A celebration of life event for his many friends may follow in late spring.

Dear Daddy,

I am thinking of you today as I do every day, every hour, and almost every moment...

I am forever grateful for ALL of the special moments and experiences we spent together.

Our beautiful family that YOU created, holds you close and your noble example informs all that we do. You are forever our hero and we live in your strength, gentleness and eternal love.

I love you, Papa Bear!

My sincerest condolences. Such a kind person and gentleman. I am sorry I only got to meet him once, so many years ago. My mother Olga always spoke so highly of "Pam and Jack".

Pamela
My best memories of Jack were on the golf course with John & Jeff....often in Las Vegas when we stayed at Jeff's father-in-law's home (before Jeff bought it). I lost Pat in 2010 after 61 years, so I know what you'll experience. Life goes on! You have my sympathy in your loss! George Miller
