I met Seth a number of times when he came over to the UK. One of the nicest, kindest guys I have ever met. I am devastated at his passing. May he finally be at peace. RIP Seth

Seth and I were friends in the mid-80s when he lived in Marblehead, Massachusetts. I have fond memories of that time skateboarding and hanging out. We reconnected about 12 years ago and had an opportunity to talk about our sobriety and go to an AA meeting. I´m saddened that he wasn´t able to obtain consistent recovery, but I also know how tough it is, being sober for almost 30 years now. My prayers of love go out to his family, friends, and his 3 sons. Rest in peace my friend.

I am so sorry for the loss of your love one. Death is a very hurtful thing and it is something we will never get use to, we just learn to cope with it the best we can. May you find comfort in your time of sorrow.
