Gary L Seeger, June 20, 1929 — March 18, 2019

Kensington – Gary Lee Seeger, 89, of Kensington, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, March 18, 2019. Gary was born on June 20, 1929 in Dover, NJ, a son of the late Charles A. and Emily (Crater) Seeger and shared 60 years of marriage with his late wife, Barbara Anne (Roh) Seeger. Gary was raised on Hillside Avenue in Kenvil, NJ and was a graduate of Roxbury High School in Roxbury Township, NJ.

After attending Muhlenberg College for a brief time, Gary enlisted in the United States Navy. He graduated as Honorman of Company 405 in his Navy Boot Camp Class at Great Lakes, IL and got to pick his next job and duty station. Gary chose to honorably serve his country as a Disbursing Clerk onboard the USS Salem (CA139).

Upon his discharge from the Navy, Gary completed his college education using the G.I. Bill and graduated from Upsala College of East Orange, NJ where he received the Upsala Award for academic excellence. While at Upsala, he met his wife Barbara and they were married in 1957. The Seeger’s settled in Morris County, NJ to raise their family where Gary worked as a Certified Public Accountant and Internal Auditor for Drew Chemical Company of Boonton, NJ and NYC, and retired from Ashland Oil, NYC, in 1990.

Gary enjoyed helping people and in his retirement years, volunteered at St. Claire’s Hospital in Denville, NJ. Gary and Barbara moved near their children in New Hampshire, in 2015. To say that Gary was a music enthusiast would be an understatement.

He loved music, especially “Big Band” era, and was a music aficionado who could recall facts about songs and the artists that performed them, without hesitation. Music was his passion! He also enjoyed collecting stamps and model trains and after living in New Hampshire for a time, became a staunch and loyal New England sports fan.

Gary is survived by his daughter, Janet Lee Seeger and her husband, Trevor Marshall of NH, and his sister, Linda Silcox of Florida. In addition to his wife Barbara who died in 2018, Gary was predeceased by his daughter Audrey Seeger and his brother, Chris Seeger. Services will be private.
