HOWLAND — Donald S. Seem, 89, of Howland, passed away Sunday, Nov. 20, 2022, and St. Joseph Warren Hospital.

He was born June 20, 1933, in Clarksville, Pa., the son of the late Isabelle and Clyde Seem.

Donald graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in 1952, where he was a standout quarterback. One of his proudest moments was leading his team to a victory over the rival Massillon Tigers.

He married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Janet H. Seem. They were married on June 2, 1956, and they had 65 wonderful years together.

After serving in the United States Army, Donald jointly operated the family business, Seem’s Golden Dawn in North Jackson for 15 years. He retired from General Motors Lordstown in 1995, where he worked as a relief man in the fabrication plant.

Donald enjoyed traveling to Florida during the winter months, supporting his grandchildren in their sporting events and cheering on all Cleveland sports teams, but he never missed an Ohio State Buckeyes football game.

He is survived by daughters, Laurie (David) Moore of Hudson and Susan Fleming of Cortland; son, Donald C. (Melinda) Seem of Howland; beloved grandchildren, Christopher Moore of Hudson, Brittany (Spencer) German of Highland Heights, Ryan Fleming of Farmdale, Ashley Seem of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Matthew Seem of Howland; adored great-grandchild, Jackson German of Highland Heights; and sister, Vivian David of Columbus.

How lucky we were to be blessed by this bright and shining light as a husband, father, Papa and friend. He will forever be in our hearts.
