Rest well Mr Seymour

Paul Seymour was a fantastic teacher and always available to help his students. He stayed after school one day to help my straighten my bent motorcycle forks. I and hundreds of others have taken what we learned in his machine shop classes and used it throughout our careers. I own a lathe, a mill and other equipment and can make just about anything because of Mr. Seymour!

My mum and I were talking about Paul (and his family) just this morning. And then I come across this. What a strange coincidence. Rest in peace, my friend.

Sorry to this. He was one of the nicer teachers. His son was in one of my classes with his dad, he did favor him at all. But overall was an enjoyable class to go to. Condolences to all of the family.

I’m sorry to hear of his passing. I was in his machine shop class, what he didn’t know was that I worked in my dad’s machine shop during the summer. He was showing the class how read micrometers, and, I was not paying attention to the lecture, so he asked me to measure using this micrometer, I read them then told him the they were not accurate. He asked me how I knew, so I told him that I worked in my dad’s machine shop during the summer, he told I would have less tolerance than the rest of the class, which was fair. He was a great teacher. RIP, Mr Seymour.

A great teacher! He and my dad knew one another as college students. It was teacher like him that inspired me to teach industrial education for my 37 year career. Well done good and faithful servant! BTW I still have the plumb bob and drill gauge I made in the machine shop.
