Sadie, David and I just heard of your loss and are so saddened by your husband 's passing. I will never forget his assistance in helping me prepare for the teaching exam in math. He was the reason I was able to begin my career in Pinellas. Amazingly my grandson is now in a pre K class adjacent to my old room at Oldsmar and my years with you are so memorable.. We know Seymour will be missed by people personally and professionally . David and I are thinking of you. Much Love Beth and David Morrow

My condolences to the family of Dr.Seymour S.Brown. Dr.Brown was one of my favorite teachers at Dear old PHS in Clearwater. He was my Chemistry which was my major for a year while attending FAMU. He always said, when balancing equations ,"What you do to the left, you must do to the right ". Rest with the Creator eternally.

Seymour was one of the most inspiring people we've ever known. It was truly an honor to be among his friends and to be his neighbor for 2 decades. Our hearts are heavy from losing such a memorable man, but we know he is in the promised land, and of course, smiling his big beautiful smile down upon all of us. We are praying for Sadie, their amazing children & grandchildren at this most difficult time. There simply will never be another Dr. Seymour Brown. Wishing you all God's love and comfort.
