McNeil SEYMOUR
was born on December 21, 1934, in St. Paul, Minnesota and died on April 2, 2023, at 88 years of age, while residing in Bloomington, Minnesota. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Mary; his four children: Margaret Stenson (Daniel), McNeil Seymour Jr, James Forsythe (Yvonne) and Benjamin Seymour; his sisters: Charlotte Johnson (Leonard, deceased) and Jean Johnson (Jack); his three grandchildren: Owen, Eric and Evan Stenson; his four stepchildren: Steve Velner (Teri), Tim Velner (Kathleen), Sara Mason (Mark), Katy Rodeghier (Brian); and his 14 step-grandchildren. Mac is preceded in death by his first wife, Alice, and by his brother, David.
Mac was a devoted alumnus of St. Paul Academy, Princeton University, and the University of Chicago Law School. After law school, Mac was in the Army twice, both times at Fort Devens, Massachusetts as part of the Army Security Agency; the second time, he was called back for active duty by President Kennedy for the Berlin Crisis.
After Mac's tour of duty, he felt privileged to practice law with his father with the firm Seymour and Seymour in St. Paul. They worked together on several important bank matters because his father was the primary attorney for the First National Bank of Saint Paul. Mac also worked with his dad on numerous probate matters (some of which were argued before the Minnesota Supreme Court).
