I just got a call from Kelly, the daughter of Plank Owner Seawolf Robert Gary Seaman (ROH), ADJ1, Gunner Det 6, 7/18/1967 to 7/17/1968. He was also an Active Association Member.

She said services for her Dad will be a family celebration of life held April 23, 2016 at 3:00 PM at family residence:

911 N. Harding Road
Elma, WA

Kelly said any Seawolves who could come, were welcome to attend.

Mortuary forgot about his Obituary, and she just sent the final approval back today, so it should be available online soon.

Obituary should show up at this link sometime this week...

Thanks Dan for re-posting this information.
I live about 3 hours from Elma and easily convinced my wife we needed to go for a drive that day so I plan to attend his service.
Unfortunately I did not know him but reading his obit and seeing his tour time, I'm guessing he was probably involved in the March '68 SEAL operations discussed in your other post. I'm sure his brother will have things to say about him but I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone else who served with him, or remember him, so I can pass along something else to the family.
Thanks again,
Jim Joyce

Thanks Jim!  Funerals and wakes are my least favorite things to do --- but they are important in our special brotherhood to let the family know of our respect for each other --- it means a lot

 A really Sad thing to hear, Bob Seaman was flying with me when I got shot and was part of our fire team for most of my flights, we were on scramble duty together when Tet 68 broke out, a true warrior and friend.  Rest in Pease My friend
