Mr. Seel was a loving, kind person who greatly enjoyed laughter.  He had great pride in his family and his home in Bayville.  He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

A celebration of life will be at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Mastapeter Memorial Home, 270 Atlantic City Blvd., Bayville, NJ 08721. The family would like donations to be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
