Kenneth J. Seaman

Kenneth Jay Seaman II, 44 of Dover, MA died July 19, 2011. While he suffered from and continued to courageously fight base of tongue cancer, his death was sudden and unexpected. Ken lived most of his life in Dover and was a business consultant for John Hancock in Boston.

He enjoyed going to Patriots’ games and especially relished in the tailgating prior to the game. As a lover of food and cooking, Ken took great pride in the meals he created for the tailgates, holidays with families and spur of the moment get togethers with friends. He was proud of his lawn and garden. His love of pigs was apparent in the weather vane atop his garage. Ken was also poker enthusiast and enjoyed trips to Foxwoods which he was able to do the day before he died.
