It was so sad to learn the
It was so sad to learn the passing of my friend of over 40 years Bobby Seaman.
He was a great horseman, a family man, and a person who helped everyone he could.
Bobby suffered a great deal in his last months but he never complained, that was Bobby's way. If you did not like Bobby after you met him then it would be hard for you to like anyone, he was that type of person. To Jeanette, Peter, Doug, Donnie, and his children I offer my condolences. We have lost a true friend of Harness Racing. Bert McWade

Bobby was a great horseman
Bobby was a great horseman and a true gentleman. I have never seen anyboby conquer the cancer that ravaged his body for the last five years like him. He had a "joie de vie" which kept him alive far past his first prognosis. My condolences to Jeanette, who I am sure was another reason he fought so hard.
