    I just got home From Seth's funeral and I have to say it was a hell of a good send-off for him. I arrived early enough that I was able to see him for a brief visitation and offered by condolences to Sara, his wife. Seth was decked out exactly the way you would have seen him in life wearing a t-shirt and ball cap! His motorcycle was there along with a mountain of photos and other mementoes of his life. Attendance, as I expected was enormous, I couldn't even begin to guess at a number but the chapel was filled and a second, overflow room was crammed to standing room only. The service was perfect. Rather than being sombre, those who spoke about Seth, even the minister, had everyone roaring with laughter. It was a service that I am sure Seth would have enjoyed. I will continue to be a member at Silverdale but I don't think it will ever be the same place again. I don't think I'll be able to walk through that door without expecting to be greeted by a smiling Seth behind the counter. Judging by the number of Silverdale members present, I am sure that I am not alone in that assessment. RIP Seth, you will be missed greatly and never forgotten.

    Though I never had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman, he must of been well loved by his friends and family.

    This sums it up nicely. Last year our club held a dinner to celebrate the end of the long gun registry. I approached Seth about contributing some door prizes. Without a blink he gathered up about $400 worth of gear to donate. That's exactly the kind of guy he was. He was a good friend to me but more importantly he was a great friend to the firearm community. We are going to miss him a lot. Deepest condolences to Sara and the girls, Doug & Joan and all of Seth's family.

    I would have liked to attend Seth's memorial service however only I received word of Seth's passing late last night. Truly a wonderful human being and a tragic loss. He always had a smile on his face and a pleasant word. The range will not be the same without Seth.

    My sincerest condolences to Sara, Charlene, Joan and Doug.

    May he rest in peace.

    Having met him once, a week before he passed, doing business with him and Sara in the shop. I left the shop feeling that this was a place that reached out to everyone who entered. It is difficult to think of this place without him. I pray that his family will be comforted with his memory.
