My deepest condolences to the Seaman family, on the passing of your family member Robert William. Only today I found out about his passing. My family was also in the aviation industry out of Malton. My brother Douglas Rock and my father John Rock knew Rob,through the aviation industry. Robert saved my life when I fell through the ice at Balmoral Public public school,in about 1966. I have thought About too many times over the years for this single act. Thank you Robert!
May all your landings be happy ones. Peace be with you.

I worked with Rob for several years at a Toronto advertising agency. He was a fan of classic cars so one weekend we took our 1979 Corvette up to Alliston to join Rob and his family at the annual Potato Festival Parade and Classic Car Show. I also remember that Rob enjoyed the silence of the country when he boarded a horse for Gillian to ride. He was highly regarded in the aviation industry, and wrote many magazine articles. We will miss him. Rest in peace.
Love, Sylvia & Rick.

Dear Gillian, my sincere condolences on your recent loss. I always enjoyed discussing dogs with your father and I can recall having many pleasant telephone conversations with him. He was always so kind and sympathetic to his four legged friends making him the type of person I could relate well to.

My condolences to you, Gillian.
Rob and I were in the band together in Bramalea Secondary School. We were always debating which was the better instrument – euphonium or trombone. I never could convince him it’s the euphonium.
Though we went our separate ways after high school, we kept in touch over the years. He will be missed.

I have fond memories of our times singing in choir at church and school. When we were young teens we were often paired as a duet.
