Our prayers of comfort to the family. I have known Seth Jr. all my life - 74 years. We played baseball, hunted and fished together. He was "a big brother to me" and also to my brother Rusty as we grew up. He was a also big brother to my sister Margaret Ann (Acre) Pearson. She loved him and he loved our entire family. I am glad that Russ, Paul and I got to spend a little time with "Junior" (as we know him) in recent years. His mom and dad were special friends and neighbors to our mom and dad too.
