SEEGER, Raymond
October 4, 1934 - February 9, 2015
Raymond Seeger and brother Ronald were born October 4, 1934 on the Lachman farm outside Alsask. They were the youngest children of Edna and Wesley Seeger, following siblings Keith and Marjorie. He became a heavy-duty mechanic for Finning tractor in Calgary where he married Lorraine and they had three children, Wesley, Sherri and Steve. When the children were older, Ray was transferred to Nelson, BC. He remarried to Elaine and Jeff was born shortly after. Some time later he changed careers and began driving logging truck out of Kaslo, BC. After retiring he relocated back to Alberta, settling in Delia to live closer to his twin brother. Here he lived out his later years happily assisting local farmers and house sitting; gardening and tinkering; fishing and hunting, and sitting among the disciples of Luke’s morning coffee meetings. Ray Seeger died in his Delia home on February 9, 2015. A Celebration of Life was held at the Delia Community Center on February 16. He is survived by his brother Ron (Norma); children Wesley, Sherri and Jeff; Grandson Cillian; and nieces and nephews. Donations can be made in his honour in lieu of flowers to the Delia Drop in Centre, Box 151, Delia Alberta, T0J 0W0.
