Sorry to hear of his passing. I trained with him through the University of Calgary to be a teacher. Not sure he believed in me, but I found out later it was not for me. He was a good man.

Mr. Seeley was my band teacher 30+ years ago at Milton Williams, and I will be forever grateful for his impact in my life. He taught me to have confidence and "stand out" (as he would say). He truly touched many lives and was such a wonderful man. I am very saddened to hear about his passing, and my condolences go out to his family. One thing for sure, I know he is now in Gods arms.
Rest in peace Mr. Seeley. Thank you for touching my life.

I met Bryon late in life but shared a closer set of values than most short acquaintences. I enjoyed the short time I was able to spend with St. Andrews Anglican church choir under his direction. Bryon was dearly loved by the choir and by the Clergy and Parishioners. My condolences to the Family and RIP Bryon.

We are so sorry to hear of Bryon's passing. He will be missed by many. I admired him for many years as an outstanding musician and then as a math teacher for 2 of my children. He was always a positive and encouraging influence to my daughters and understood fully the connections between music education and strong academic performance. Heaven's got one more amazing horn player!

Bryon and Marilyn were the founders and creators of a very successful day camp at Camp Chestermere, which continues to thrive to this day. Bryan loved camp, and could often be found volunteering as a boat driver. He will be missed
