Harold Thurman Seagroves, Sr.

March 23, 2010 By Hall-Wynne Leave a Condolence

Mr. Harold Thurman Seagroves, Sr., 85, of Old Graham Road, Pittsboro, NC died March 23, 2010 at his home following an illness of three weeks.

Born July 29, 1924 in Chatham County, he was the son of James Fredrick Seagroves and Donnah Gertrude Dorsett. Harold was a 1942 graduate of Pittsboro High School. In 1943 he volunteered for the US Navy and was sent to Bainbridge Training Base to electrical school. He was later stationed in Florida and where he was put on an LST where he stayed the rest of his naval career. He was promoted to 2nd class electrician, and was involved in several landings in the Pacific.

In 1945, Harold began working as an apprentice at Miller Funeral Home in Sanford. It was during that year and one half that he met his future wife, Yvonne Phillips, whom he married in 1948. Harold went to mortuary school at American Academy in New York, graduating in 1949. Following graduation he came back to Pittsboro, and began working with James and William Griffin at Griffin Funeral Home, where he stayed for 9 years. Following a short time of employment with Chatham County, Harold went to work at Walker

    Family, I was saddened to learn of your loss. Mr. Harold was a man that I held in high regard. He was a man of integrity. When I lost my grandparents and parents, Mr. Harold was there doing his job but also he befriended you.

    My mother and I always considered Harold a good friend. Growing up in the Presbyterian Church in Pittsboro, Harold was a fixture and always a tremendous support for my mother. I am saddened for your loss and my sincere condolences to the family.

    Seagroves Family:

    I am so very sorry for the loss of Harold. I have so many memories or him, when I would run through his yard to go to my Ninnie’s house from my Dad’s or pick grapes off his vine. He was such a kind spirited man who always gave me a smile as he waved and yelled, “Hey Emily.” He will be missed by all and I wish you all peace during this very trying time. May God comfort and bless you all!

    Love,
    Emily Perry Allberg

    I am sorry for your loss. I was acquainted with your dad years and years ago, when I worked at UNC Hospitals, in the office with Ruth Wombleshe and Wallace lived and worked at Walker’s Funeral Home.
    Your dad would come in our office to copy death certificates.

    Thanks for being such a good friend to Wesley.

    Love Melba

    I will miss the big smile your dad had every time i saw him. I had lot’s of kin folks in Chapel Hill and when one would pass away there was our friend Harold to greet us as we came in the door. When I came to work in Pittsboro I did your mothers hair and he loved her so much. I will miss his wit and that wonderful smile . He was one great man and friend. My Prayers are with you all. Much Love , Ruth thomas
