James L. Seward

Can´t believe it´s a year since we lost Jim after his valiant struggle with cancer. One of the finest legislators and, more importantly, individuals that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He is sorely missed

We miss Jim very much. We think of him often. We think of our many happy times with Jim and Cindy, especially our getting together at The Blue Mingo and on The Veranda at The Otesaga. Jim Seward was very special-so kind and generous to everyone who knew him, always dedicated to serving the best interests of his constituents and the people of New York State. Cindy, too, is forever in our thoughts and happy memories. Tom & Pam Workman

Happy First Birthday in the Nearer Presence of God, Cousin Jim! My love is always with you. - Colette

Sharon and I send our deepest sympathies to Cindy and the family. I lost my best friend in the New York State Senate who sat next to me in the Chamber for over 30 years. God bless Jim Seward.

Dear Cindy and family, I'm so sorry to to hear of Senator"Jim" Seward's passing. He was my favorite guest here at the Quality Inn during sessions at the Capital. Always greeting me with a smile. Always took time to chat. As well as you and his staff too. May God bless you, your family and all his friends. Sincerely, Marietta Billings

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jim was one of the finest men, let alone legislators, that I ever had the privilege of getting to know during my years in state government relations. A superb, principled representative who was always willing to reach across the aisle to achieve the right result for not only his constituents but all New Yorkers. Unfortunately he is among the last of his kind. He will be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathies to the Seward family from a fellow classmate of his.
