Theodore J. Seiter, 82, of Sag Harbor, NY, and Port Charlotte, FL, passed away on October 25, 2024. He was born to Theodore and Rose Seiter, who preceded him in death. Ted was a proud alumnus of Holy Cross High School, CW Post, and he was also a member of Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business fraternity, as well as a member of the Knights of Columbus.

Ted’s career started as an accountant with Peat Marwick (KPMG) and soon transitioned to healthcare administration. He held administrative titles at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, St. Francis Hospital (CFO), Wyoming Valley Healthcare System, the Church Charity Foundation, and president of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA).

Ted lived a life of integrity and generosity, which made a lasting impact on those around him. He found joy in life’s small, humorous moments, sharing laughter with friends and family. A passionate car enthusiast, Ted had a special fondness for sports cars. Above all, he was a devoted family man, deeply caring for the happiness and well-being of his children and grandchildren.

He leaves behind his wife Elisabeth of 57 years, their three daughters, Jennifer, Elisabeth, and Erica (Felipe), brother Robert (Angela), and numerous extended family members. Ted’s legacy lives on through the many joyful memories made with his eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Compensation packages for the town’s 500 employees and retirees already make up more than $93 million of spending. It’s an acknowledgment that the town has ... by Editorial Board
