My name is Margaret Story Bardwell and I am Sonny Seiler’s oldest grandchild. On behalf of his four children, seven grandchildren and one great grandchild, I am honored to share some words about him. In his professional career, Poppie mentored countless young lawyers and he was a sincere friend to all. Many people have shared with me over the past several weeks how Poppie changed their lives. His obituary speaks for itself with accomplishments a mile long, but above all he was a devout Christian, a faithful husband, a proud father and grandfather with many, many side gigs.
When Poppie accepted the University of Georgia Alumnae Family of the year award he opened his acceptance speech lamenting that his bride was not present.
