Survivors include his wife Mildred; a son, Rick Sealey and a daughter, Debbie Lehman, both of Lamar; a granddaughter, Nicole Osborne and husband Micah and two great-grandchildren, Eli and Ella Osborne, Springfield and two brothers, Don Sealey, Stanberry and Larry Sealey, King City.

He was preceded in death by one brother and one sister.

Mr. Sealey was born Sept. 5, 1936, in King City, to Wayne and Mary Sealey. He was a 1953 graduate of King City High School. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1955 for a two year tour of duty.

He married Mildred Marie Bailey on Dec. 29, 1957, in Kansas City, Mo. and this would have been their 63rd anniversary.

Mr. Sealey began a 40 year long career with MFA, starting in 1959. Most of those years were spent as manager at the MFA grain elevator in Lamar. He retired in 2000.

He loved animals of all kinds and always kept well-stocked feeders in his yard. He was a big sports fan and an avid fisherman. He was a fixture at Lamar's city lake. It was his daily routine to go to the lake to fish and feed the ducks and geese. His last moments were spent doing both. His family cannot think of a more appropriate place for his passing.
