Mr. Seger needed to know the who, why, what, when and absorbed as much knowledge as he could, his family said. He enjoyed reading, the arts, museums, Broadway, all kinds of music, photography, fine dining at well-known restaurants but also a couple of hot dogs from one of the vendors on the streets of New York City. He enjoyed window shopping with family, deep conversations about politics, sitting on the beach, sailing on Long Island with Mr. Grossman and his parents, Janet and Karl Grossman, and was an avid movie watcher.

His charm, wit, sense of humor and passion touched many lives and he will be missed by all, his family said, noting that Mr. Seger lived life to the fullest and many peoples’ lives were enriched from having known him. To know him was to love him, they added, noting that they would miss him forever.
