“Eric, or "Ek" as everyone called him in the dorm, was my room mate at Purdue during our freshman year. I got lucky; a great roomy and pal, quiet, neat to be around. We had the same Pittsburgh background and got along like old friends. Rest in peace Ek, we had a good ride back then. Jon Petrie”

Ignatius R Hamerski wrote a sympathy message

“Eric was a wonderful man, co-worker and friend. He taught me so many things as a roller that I try to pass on to the younger operators. Fond memories of the golf outings we played in and will always remember his smile. Darlene and I offer our prayers to Bev, and the entire Seely family on the loss of Eric, who we know loved his family dearly. He was a fine gentleman that the world can never replace. Iggy and Darlene Hamerski”

Josh McGee wrote a sympathy message

“Eric and Bev have been our next door neighbors for 11 years. Eric was always kind and generous. Many times loaning a tool or a hand at a seconds notice. Our kids regard the Seely's almost like grandparents. We will sorely miss Eric as a friend and neighbor. We are praying for God's hand of comfort on the Seely family through this time. With Love, Josh, Kayla, Ezra, and Emma McGee”

Allison Seely wrote a sympathy message

“Eric was my father-in-law, a truly wonderful man. He always made a point to ask about the different activities my husband and I were involved in and how we were doing. My parents were also incredibly fond of him. My dad spent several days playing golf with Eric and my mom always loved talking with him at our family parties. Most of all, I am glad he knew how much I love his son Tom. He will be forever missed and always remembered. Love, Allison Seely”
