A Sad Way to Start Family History Month, Again

Two years ago on October 1, we lost my great uncle, William Cramer, Sr. This past Wednesday, October 1, we lost my Uncle (who was great), Walter E. Seidel Jr.

At the age of 64, Walter succumbed to brain cancer after a year long, arduous battle. He was a good uncle, a good father, a good husband, a good friend, a good man. He was the devoted husband of my father's sister, Jane. He raised two very strong women, my cousins; Joan Campbell and Therese Reese. He will remain deeply loved by his grandchildren.

He had served our country in the Army during Vietnam. He worked hard and rose through the ranks of his carpenters' union. But more than any other accomplishment, my uncle was a level-headed, wise and learned adviser to many. He was a supportive relative and friend who sincerely had your best interest at heart. I will miss him as will the entire extended family. We will miss him dearly.

SEIDEL - Walter E. Jr. on October 1, 2014. Walter served in the US Army and was a Vietnam Veteran. Devoted husband of Jane. Beloved father of Joan Campbell (Robert), and Therese Reese (Patrick).
