Bev and family,

I learned of your husband's passing through reading a tribute to him in the Star Tribune a few days ago. I remember with pleasure working side by side with you at Pike Lake and later Snail Lake Schools, and I had the pleasure of meeting Bill a few times. His warmth, kindness, and integrity as a human being shone through from the moment I met him. What a great pair you were! I am sorry for your family's loss, and yet rejoice for all the years that you had together. The Twin Cities community is a better place because of the Seablooms' contributions.

All best wishes, Judy Hill
