Dr. Clinton Barnum Seeley died suddenly in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on March 6, 1984. He was 56 years old.
Dr. Seeley was born in New York City and raised in Stamford, Connecticut. After returning from the U.S. Army occupation forces in Japan as a sergeant in General MacArthur’s honor guard, he graduated from M.I.T., earned his M.D. degree from the University of Rochester, and completed his residency in Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1860. He entered private practice in Andover, Massachusetts, and was on the staff of the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, where he served as Chairman of the Department of Radiology and President of the Medical Staff of the Lawrence General Hospital. He was also on the staff of the Isham Infirmary of Phillips Academy.
Dr. Seeley supported organized medicine and was very active in local and state medical societies. He was a member of the American Medical Association, the Massachusetts Medical Society, and served as President of the Middlesex East District Medical Society in 1977. He was a founder and long-time executive committee member of the Massachusetts Radiological Society and was active in the New England Roentgen Ray Society and the Radiological Society of North American. He became a Fellow of the American College of Radiology in 1976.
He had many diverse interests, such as classical music and masonry. Unknown to many of his medical friends, he was an avid collector of antique toy cars and was recognized as a world authority on the subject.
He was a unique and colorful person, never at a loss for words, and frequently offered strong opinions that mirrored his strong intellect and convictions. He is survived by his wife, Gail; two daughters, Laurie and Katie; and two sons, David and Paul. He will be sorely missed by his many friends and colleagues.
