Thomas Seaman

SANBORNVILLE — Thomas B. (T.B) Seaman of Sanbornville succumbed to cancer on Nov. 23, 2009.

Born on Sept. 3, 1932, in Hartford, Conn., Tom enlisted in the U.S. Navy after his education at Enfield High School in Enfield, Conn. He proudly served from 1950 to 1953. He then served in the Army from 1958 to 1962. This was followed by service at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

He always had a great passion for race cars, having both driven and owned several throughout his life.

He was a good example to others as a hard worker and a person with great determination. He will be missed by many.

Tom was predeceased by his wife, Nancy Seaman; his parents, Thomas V. Seaman and Welle Peck; and brother, John Seaman.

He is survived by two siblings, brother, Bruce Seaman, and sister, Sherry Parrillo.

He is also survived by his eight children, Ron Seaman, David Seaman, Lynda Cail, Steve Seaman, Jack Seaman, Janet Buchanan, Paula Steadman and Sharon Engel; 17 grandchildren; one great-grandson; and several nieces and nephews.

"Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price we pay for love."

Tom will be buried with his wife, Nancy, at the Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, N.H Services will be held for family and close friends on Friday, Dec. 4.

After having lost both parents to cancer, the children respectfully request that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Cancer Society. (www.cancer.org).
