    For us givers letting love in can be hard to do. I’ve learned and continue to learn to open my heart to love, to allow others to support me. To recognize life is a gift!

About Lewis J. Seelig

Lew was a man of quiet simplicity. He had a profound love for animals, especially his beloved dog Buster, who was his constant companion on walks, hikes, and outings to many area dog parks. Lew found peace in the tranquility of nature, whether at the Flahive family farm in Plainfield, a trip to the ocean, or just stepping into the cultivated native plant garden in his own backyard.

A voracious reader, Lew could often be found keeping up with newspapers at the library, or lost in the pages of a book at home. He enjoyed collecting recipes and trying them out. He also had a particular fondness for old movies, a love he shared with his late mother who influenced his taste in film.

Lew’s approach to connecting with his community was unique. He was a reliable and nonjudgmental assistant to any friend or relative who asked for help, but he preferred to tackle his projects and problems on his own. Lew shared few details about himself, preferring to quietly listen instead. He'd often delight people by showing that information mentioned in passing had made an impression on him. And he was the rare practitioner of CrossFit who never brought it up in conversation.

Throughout his life, Lew faced the challenges of depression, and had been an active participant in his own treatment at the time of his death. Despite these struggles, he will be remembered for his sometimes surprising and often dry sense of humor, his uncanny ability to read people, and his caring, compassionate nature. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
