Robert C. Seamans Jr.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Robert C. Seamans, Jr. Dr. Seamans was a visionary and inspirational leader. The aerospace industry has lost a great man and a loyal friend.

I never had the opportunity to meet Dr. Seamans personally, but he was extremely generous to me when I was a teenager interested in space history, sending me very nice letters and, years later, out of the blue, a signed copy of his book. An extremely generous man.

Dr. Seamans was a vital part of the most important human exploration ever achieved - NASA's reach to the moon - and as such history will forever remember him and his amazing achievements.

My deepest condolences to his...

Cousins Gene and family, we will all greatly miss Cousin Bob. I'm so thankful he could attend our recent wedding ~ I will cherish that memory. His humor and brilliance always shone through. He brought reassurance on his visits to Eli Lilly when he dropped in to see me in Indianapolis in the '80's when I was quite homesick. My management team at Fidelity was stunned to discover his board position at the company, along with me! So many family gatherings I recall, always wishing there were...

A wise and gentle man of great integrity. My professor at MIT and a colleague at the National Research Council in a study the Space Station. He will always have a place in my memory.

Mrs Seamans, Dan, Linda and all the Seamans Family,

We loved your father so much -- his smile and warm welcome, the obvious interest he took in all around him. Each year we looked forward to seeing him in Beverly Farms and hearing of his travels and adventures. What a special man he was.

Thomas loves telling the story of Mr. Seamans wearing NASA-grade headphones while the band practiced in the basement.

With love and fond memories of this wonderful man,

Margaret...
