William J. Seymour, age 82, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, July 8, 2017 at St. Joseph’s Nursing Home. He was surrounded by his loving family who will remember him as a caring, generous, and supportive husband, father, and grandfather.

Bill was born in Ogdensburg, NY on November 29, 1934 to the late Lucien and Mary (Brennan) Seymour. As the youngest, Bill adored his seven older siblings – James (Rose) Seymour, Robert (Clara) Seymour, Thomas (Barbara) Seymour, Anna (Thomas) DuPré, Lucien David (Janet) Seymour, Marie (William) Morley, and Ellen (Herman) Bova. Each of them played a role in Bill’s formative years, laying the foundation for his love of family. He graduated from St. Mary’s Academy in 1952, where he was a respected athlete and specifically enjoyed basketball, football, and baseball. After high school, he attended Canton ATI and was employed at Niagara Mohawk for over thirty-eight years.

Bill married Mary Ellen LaRose on June 9, 1956 at St. Mary’s Cathedral. Over the course of their 61-year marriage, Bill and Mary Ellen built a loving home with their eight children – Linda (Kelley) Geary, Patricia (Jeffrey) Bouchard, Joann (Michael) Marshall, William (Elaine) Seymour, Gary (Cheryl) Seymour, Thomas Seymour (deceased), Diane (Matthew) Mitchell, and Julie (John) Rhodes.

His great-grandchildren brought a smile to their Poppy’s face with every visit. Although they are young, his legacy as a fun-loving and joyful patriarch has laid the foundation for their appreciation of family.

Family and friends will reminisce about Bill as an avid whistler, a Syracuse fan, and a chocolate-fiend. His wife, children, and grandchildren will always strive to achieve his core wish, “I want everyone to be happy.” They are relieved to know that Bill joins his parents, deceased siblings, son Tom, and great-granddaughter Tyler in watching over all of us.
