Seymour, you were living proof that age should never be a deterrent to doing something you love (or don't), and will serve as an inspiration to me for the rest of my life. Your unending knowledge of Beemer bikes, stories - oy, those stories - of Mies & the rallys & the old Albany Park & everything in between, those silly jokes & a refusal to admit when you were wrong will all be missed.
All my love, Seth

Sincerest condolences to my family I so endearingly call the "Chicago Goldberg's". I have so many loving memories of Uncle Seymour, Aunt Cynthia, Liz, David & Jacob as a child growing up. Seymour was a loving father who wanted only the best for his family and worked diligently to fulfill his goal. He will be missed but will forever be in my heart. Rest in Eternal Peace Uncle Seymour!

I first met Seymour when he had just â??graduatedâ? as a BMW M/C mechanic. His fine counsel and mechanic skills kept me on the road for many, many miles. I will miss him. Condolences to his family. He was a real gentleman.

I remember talking with Seymour many times when I was a member of the Chicago Region BMW Owners Association. He was always so helpful at helping me figure out how to keep my motorcycle running, and he did that for so many others. He was a great guy, and will be missed.

It was my favorite Saturday ritual, waking up at 6 am on my day off and zooming across town from the south side to make it to Seymourâ??s shop. I met Seymour about 3 years ago when I emailed him about some old BMWâ??s my father had left me. He invited me to his shop one Saturday and we instantly hit it off. I remember I had on one of my old Mercedes-Benz work shirts, we got to talking about cars, he was schooling me on these old BMW motorcycles, it was a great time. After that I spent many more Saturdayâ??s there. Weather it was helping him fix a bike, or just going to Dappers for breakfast, it was among my favorite weekend activities. I canâ??t explain the comradary I felt, it was like hanging out with an old friend Iâ??ve known for years, a grandfather figure, Iâ??m not quite sure.... I know I truely miss you Seymour!! It brings me to tears just writing this now. My deepest condolences to your family. You are one of the coolest people Iâ??ve ever met. You will always be in my heart. Thank you for all the great memories.
Ben
