Dear Seymour, thank you for having been such good...

1963-2013

This is a place where we can remember Seymour. A place where family, friends, colleagues, drinking partners, sparring partners and anyone else he touched or influenced can remember, celebrate or toast him.

Funeral arrangements - details

Seymour was a much loved partner, daddy and friend, a polar professor, space scientist, would-be airline pilot, lego lover, mountain man and proficient plumber. A man with friends all over the world, with a love of life and of living it up.
Also a UCL man to his core.

He was funny, infuriating, great company, irascible, wise, wild, loveable, loving, and softer as a dad than any of us ever thought he could be.

Dear Seymour, thank you for having been such good colleague and friend. And for sharing some of your enthusiasm beyond CryoSat. Few will know how an eager hiker and summiter you were. And what a keen snowmobile pilot on the rough Arctic pack ice!

We miss you dearly and ever will. However, you may not know that for some time already some of us joked about what we have learned from you, when we occasionally met without you. You will be with us when these people meet again in the future, and we will celebrate our memories.

In Memory of Seymour Laxon
