I met Seymour in 1998 while working at Clifford Chrysler. Seymour would notice my performance as a sub contractor at that firm. He always put the good word for me to upper management. This would repeat thru the decades at other car dealerships. I also had the pleasure to offer my services to his friends and family. Seymour was a class act and I will truly miss him.
