We have heart felt feelings for Denise and her family at this special time. Carl was a man who had a strong hand shake, twinkle in his eye, and a subtle sense of humor. He will be missed by many and remembered with a smile.
Carl was a good man and will be missed. Always super nice to me. My sympathies to Denise, Doug and Don.
Such a dear, dear friend…… What a void you have left, Carl !!
Regardless of the suffering you might have been feeling, you were always available when needed.
Denise, Doug and Jamie, and Donald, I love you guys……. and you know how much I’ll miss the Big Guy.
Carl became a good friend through golf. His dry humor and remarks were always refreshing. His presence will be missed by all.
Carl was a good officer, did not work directly with him however he was a good man.
I’ve know Carl before he and Denise were married and yours truly was the soloist at the wedding. Many good years of admiring a great fellow and human being. THE BIG GUY meant so much to many people as he does to me. He will be missed for sure. Can’t remember where, but within the last 3-4 months I got one of Carl’s BIG hugs and it is going to be a wonderful memory for me. Blessings Carl. Much love to Denise, Doug and Donald. Thank you 3 for sharing Carl with the rest of us!! Such admiration for fighting the good fight!!
My deepest condolences to all of you. This is such a loss. My thoughts and
Prayers are with you all. As days go by remember all the wonderful things you went thru. Uncle Carl will carry you along the way for ever.
Denise and family
Denise and family, I am so very sorry for your loss! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
We are so sad to learn of Carl’s passing. He was a wonderful loyal friend. We have so many treasured friendship memories with the whole Seaman family. Carl has forever left his mark on this world. Much love to Denise, Donald and Doug.
Denise, I am so sorry. We will not be able to make the funeral but will send a check to the Nebraska Foundation. I am happy that he knew Doug was married. We will remember Carl as a phenomenal person.
Denise & family, I hope you remember all the wonderful moments you experienced with your loved one, Carl.
My mother, Dorothy Todd, spoke of you often. Know you were close colleagues. She has been gone three years this month, but She had many great years for a 93 year old.
My sympathy goes out to you.
My sincerest condolences Denise to you and your family. I always enjoyed talking to Carl at the golf course or at many of the community events that he attended. He was easy to talk with and had an infectious laugh. He will be missed. Regards. Tom Richards
My deepest sympathies to the family. I always enjoyed talking to Carl . He could always bring a smile to me and usually a chuckle or two. He and Denise raised two wonderful young men, Doug and Donald, and I always received support with their education. Carl was outstanding member of the Bellevue community and an asset to anyone
who had the good fortune of knowing him!
Denise – We were so saddened to learn of Carl’s passing. He brought so much to so many and will be sorely missed. May your beautiful memories sustain you and bring you comfort during this time of grief. Please accept our deepest sympathies. Love, Loren, Suzane, Jenna and Ava Winkler
Carl was always larger than life, but would always find the time to dust off a skinned knee and send you on your way! He will be missed! Prayers and Hugs to everyone!
I feel very lucky to have known Carl. He was a great guy with a good sense of humor. I’m, also, very glad that I got to watch the funeral. What wonderful testimonials from friends and family. He will be missed by all.
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Seaman. I played ball in high school with Doug and Donald and remember Mr. Seaman being a fixture around Bellevue East. He was always smiling and always had the most positive things to say to everyone he interacted with. He will never be forgotten and his legacy will continue to live on through the lives he touched. Mrs. seaman, Doug and Don my prayers and thoughts are with all of you. During this time. God bless you all.
Denise – So very sad to hear this news. Hugs and prayers to you and the boys.
Sad to hear about Carl. I am Soo Sorry! I worked with Carl at FDR for a long time. I always enjoyed his wisdom and great stories. He would light up when he talked about his wife and amazing boys. He Loved you guys soo much and was very proud of you all. Carl was an amazing person.
