Mr. Seevak made a tremendous difference in the lives of every single one of the students at Boston Latin and they probably were mostly unaware of his role. He is singularly responsible for creating and endowing the Facing History program and the Seevak website competition at Boston Latin. There is not a day that has gone by that we did not benefit from his generosity. I cannot think of a human being who has cared more about his roots and having a profound effect on the lives of young people, especially at his alma mater, than Mr. Seevak. He read all of your posts (!) and checked in constantly to find out what you were up to and what more he could do.

Mr. Seevak was one of the most generous, thoughtful, concerned and dedicated people I have ever known. He certainly changed my life in innumerable ways. I will miss him enormously. His passing is a profound loss for Boston Latin, for the Facing History program at this school, and for humanity as a whole.

I invite all of you to contribute your thoughts to this tribute page. I am certain that Mrs. Seevak, their children Alison, Evan, and Marina, their children and the rest of the Seevak family will appreciate reading what you have to say about this remarkable man.
