We were very saddened by the news of Seph's passing. We just learned that Seph was ill last week. After being nextdoor neighbors for 13 years before we moved, we watched Seph grow into a young man with the promise of a great future. As you are aware, we know what deep sorrow you are feeling at this time, and we offer you our prayers and support. Seph had many friends and family who will miss him terribly.
With deepest sympathy,
Joe and Susan Lain

Cary,Sharon,Grayson,Leigh,

Words can't express how sorry I am for the loss of Seph.
He was an amazing craftsman and it was an honor to work with him.
His talent will be seen for years to come on the waterways around the world in the Scout Boats that he was so instrumental in designing.

Have comfort in knowing that Seth is now pain free and in a much better place waiting to see his love ones again.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
