      Seth was an amazing person who’s compassion and understanding was above reproach. He always went to bat for the people he believed in and I will forever be thankful I had the privilege of working with him for five amazing years at LHI and getting to know him as my friend. His absence has been felt every day and I miss him terribly.

      I hope he is at peace, whooping it up in a bar, eating his favorite pizza and watching some football.

    I am so sorry to hear of Seth’s passing. I was the StWEA state advisor when Seth was involved as a leader out of the Lacrosse campus. Seth was an advocate for social justice and quality public education. I remember him for his laugh and for his compassion for others… especially when they were tipping over in a canoe on the Mecan River!!! A wonderful and kind person…. My condolences on a great loss.
