Robert Mallard Seago Jr.

Judy, My heart goes out to you and the family. I only just heard today that you had lost Bobby.
He was larger than life, and a caring and empathic person, whose artistic talents were exceptional.
Everyone will miss him.

I was working on my computer today, and a recording of Robert and I talking physics came up. I so enjoyed my hours spent with him at his home, and Judith's yummy sandwiches. His mind was a wonderland. God rest! Peace.

I was fortunate to be a classmate of Bobby Seago at the Henry W. Allen Grammar School in New Orleans in the 1940s. Bobby, even at a very early age before we were teenagers, was a profoundly and prodigiously talented natural artist whose phenomenal ability has always been an inspiration to me in my own drawing and painting throughout my life. He was also a first-class guy whose heart and mind were always in the right place. My sympathy to all his family for the loss of that wonderful fellow.

I enjoyed running into Bob at Mo's Art Supply where the conversation would turn to music. He was always surprised to learn that I knew the song Green Eyes by Helen O'Connell and other songs from the 40s and 50s (I told him I grew up hearing all those at my home as well as my grandparents' where my uncle's records or the radio were always on). I'll miss his one-of-a-kind humor, and sorry that I'll out of town and will miss his service.

I used to love running into Bob at Mo's Art Supply and have a discussion about music from the 40s and 50s. He was so surprised to learn I knew the song Green Eyes by Helen O'Connell....told him I grew up listening to all that in our house as well as my grandmother's where my uncle played his records and the radio. I'll miss his one-of-a-kind humor, and I'm sorry that I will be out of town for his service.

Now the memories will have to suffice as we lose a dear dear friend. With Bobby there was allways a richness of being, a constant search for the actual, through music, mechanics, quantum physics And all forms of art especially painting. We shared much. And his depth of talent gave much to many.
Sincerest commiseration to Judy and his family

I was very sad to learn of the loss of Bobby Seago. I have admired and respected Bobby's Art for decades and his interest in a vast number of subjects. I first met Bobby and his Family through my late Mother's close friendship with Bobby's Aunt, Georgia Seago, which dated from their days as college students at Newcomb Art School and their participation in the Mandolin and Guitar Club there. So many fond memories of Georgia's New Year's Day Sugar Bowl celebration at her home with the Seago...
