He is survived by his loving children, Abbe (Joseph) Distelburger and Andrew Baida (Cynthia Spell); adored grandchildren, Eric Distelburger (Tamara Bendahan), Sarah (Ashley) Baida, Betsy (Yadeedya) Mellman, and Samuel Baida-Spell; cherished great-grandchildren, Milo Baida, Lyla Distelburger, Levi Mellman, and Finnian Baida; sister-in-law, Lillian Shore; cousins, Margot Zipper and Susan Teller; and nieces, Nina Shore, Sharon (Mark) Twersky, and Randi Barenholtz. Seymour was predeceased by his beloved wife, Marlyn Baida (nee Berkenfeld); siblings, Irving Shore and Hannah (Royal) Leff; and parents, Sadie and Harry Schmulowitz.
Seymour was a good man who was kind, thoughtful, and generous to others. He was often the smartest person in the room and always the most humble and modest. He loved being with his family, listening to opera, speaking and reading Italian, visiting Florence (17 times), playing bridge, watching the Orioles and Ravens, and worrying about the people he loved. He never stopped missing his wife Marlyn and cherished the life he shared with her for more than 64 years until his last breath. Seymour was a caring husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend and was loved by many. We will miss him and are grateful we knew him.
