Posted

CRANSTON, R.I. – Seymour Port died Jan. 13 at Wingate Residence, Providence. He was the beloved husband of the late Bernice (Kaufman) Port. Born in Providence, a son of the late Dora (Gerstenblatt) and Samuel Port, he had lived in Cranston for almost 60 years before moving to Wingate on the East Side in 2017.

Seymour was a self-employed manufacturers’ representative in the costume jewelry business until his retirement. He was a graduate of Brown University and proudly served as a naval officer in both the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters during WWII. He was a member of Touro Fraternal Association (Harmony Lodge), the Masons, and the Jewish War Veterans.

Seymour and Bernice were true soulmates. They shared a love for travel, visiting countries in Asia, Europe and South America. They were always ready to be on the dance floor for everything from ballroom dancing to disco. Seymour had a great sense of humor and was always a joy to be with.

He was the loving father of Rhonda Walker and her husband, Roger, and adoring grandfather of Allison. He was the dear brother of the late Rose Rosenfield and Hyman Port.  Seymour’s family is grateful for the love he received from his caregivers.
