Missing you Bro!! Life is just not the same without you! Best brother and friend a sister ever had. I love you forever and ever. You are always in my heart..
Happy Birthday in Heaven Bro. My heart is breaking today. I miss you so very much. From the day our parents brought you home from the hospital, you became so special to me. I never dreamed we could grow closer, but somehow we always found a way. The Masters was always special to us. Our friendly wagers were the best – nothing but pride in being right at stakes. Amazingly enough, Phil (you) and Tiger (me) are both tied at 4 under – T10. We would have had some fun with that. I know you are in heaven watching over your family here on earth, and keeping us safe during this year like no other. For that and my lifetime of memories, I thank you. Soar high Bro, and please know how much you are always cherished, remembered and truly loved. ❤❤❤
I don’t know if anyone will read this, but it’s 2025 and I just found out that Reed Seligman passed away. My daughter just got accepted to DO school, and some of my friends were asking me, “What exactly is a DO? Is it like an MD?” And I told them—honestly—the best cardiologist I’ve ever met in almost 30 years of practicing medicine was a DO. His name was Reed Seligman.
I met him when he was working in Cartersville, GA. As a primary care physician, I’ve known a lot of cardiologists, but Reed was different. He was a kind, compassionate human being, and he had a deep, powerful understanding of medicine. He used that knowledge every single day for the good of his patients—many of whom probably never realized how lucky they were to have someone like him taking care of them.
He was the only cardiologist I’ve ever known who would actually pick up the phone from the ER and say, “Hey, I’m seeing one of your patients with chest pain—can you tell me their lipids and risk factors?” Simple questions, but essential ones. And no one else ever asked me. Just him.
Rest in peace, Reed. Your memory lives on—not just in your patients, but in your colleagues too. You made a difference, and I won’t forget you.
