Not sure what to say?

I mention Seymour in several of my poems. He was one truly beautiful soul.

I met Seymour on the streets of Manhattan in the mid 1980's. I was with my cousin Virginia and we were walking. We were young and pretty back then and Seymour just started walking in tandem with us. We all started laughing and talking as if we had known him always. We went to lunch together and he and Virginia remained friends for years. I didn't live in the city so I only saw him from time to time. Each visit was special, just like the man himself.

My deepest condolences,
Mark 5:39, liken death to sleep and that soon Jesus Christ is going to use his God given power to awaken them.

May the God of Peace be with your family at this sober time. A talented man and giver like
Mr. Leichman will be missed because he brought out in color and arrangement all the love of happiness in his heart by this work.
