Wednesday, September 1

Was on the North Fork last week and we spent a day at the ocean over at Flies. It was a gorgeous day, but fairly flat. Water looked like the Caribbean. Brought back good memories of days of yore with Dootze and the gang.

Happy Birthday Don

Got that wave of the day for ya, Bro. It happened to have been yesterday, but you would have been proud.

Happy Birthday Brother!

Hey-Hey, Captain Dootze - Happy Birthday! I got this photo of us in my office, so you're never far from my thoughts.

I remember some wild b-days back in the day, before Dootze became a model citizen. In our mid-20s Don's favorite vice was flaming shots, which flew past a bushy 'stache, then ended with a deafening roar that brought the bar to a standstill. Crazy man. I also remember a 30th with brother Randy. That story will remain out of the public domain to protect the innocent. Suffice to say at some point we were all firmly asked to leave the bar and not come back. Hang loose, Don - you are truly missed by all.

Captain Donald Stuart Seeth

Captain Donald Stuart Seeth, age 52 of Mattituck, NY and Fort Lauderdale, FL passed away July 25, 2009 of lung cancer. Don was born Aug 2, 1956 in Mineola, NY, the son of Jane Ehlers Seeth and Douglas Stuart Seeth. He was a graduate of Wheatley High School and had been a professional boat captain for 30 yrs.

Don is survived by his loving partner, Mary Ary, his father Douglas, his brother Paul (and his wife Rebecca) and brother Randall (and his loving partner Betty) and nieces Nicole and Lauren. Don was preceded in death by his mother Jane.

Don was a natural athlete who excelled at every sport he attempted. But, the one sport he had a lifelong passion for was surfing. His surfing adventures took him from Montauk to Puerto Rico and in recent years to Hawaii and Costa Rica. Don was 6’4”, a big powerful man. But, when he caught a wave he was catlike….poetry in motion.

As to Don's wish, no funeral services will be held. His ashes will be scattered at a date to be established at his favorite surfing spot on Long Island, 'Three's".

Don will be remembered for his strength, intelligence and great sense of humor. But without question his finest attribute was the kindness of his heart. Don’s family and friends knew they could always count on him in times of need. He was a “rock” for so many people, he will be sorely missed.

Don maintained a positive attitude and never gave up the battle against his cancer. He would want that fight continued, so in lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society.
