    May he rest in peace. I’ve been working at NASA Goddard for the past 25 years and there is no one I know that was as universally respected as Seaton Norman. Seaton was the kind of guy that never steered you wrong, never over promised, knew everyone and could get things done. The old timers that were here when I came on told me never lie to him and do whatever he asks, in return he’ll back you to the hilt. If you were right he would be in your corner no matter what. If you were wrong he’d tell you so and help you to get right. Absolutely great guy to have known and I know his experience, knowledge, and common sense will be missed. My sympathies to his family, take comfort in that his was a life well lived.

    Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lordand let perpetual light shine upon him.May he rest in peace. Amen.
