Maury Seitz - cruzermm 1928-2019

My condolences to his family and friends.
I only met Maury once and it was easy to see he was a genuine good guy.
May he rest in peace....
 
A beloved member and supporter of the Marauder, this site and all it's members. Maury was an exciting person and insisted the Marauder was powered by a Cobra engine. He was a pilot and flew many different types of commercial aircraft.

I will miss him. He was the first person I met when I joined the North Texas Marauders and this site in mid 2004. His energy and enthusiasm for all things Marauder was infectious.

RIP Maury, I'll see you when we cruise again.

Your friend,

Pat

Sorry for your families loss. Always an interesting guy to talk to. The last time that I saw him was in Louisville a number of years ago, and I'm saddened everytime that remember him saying that it would probably be his last trip. R.I.P. Maury!

What Ken said. I met him at the same time. He was quite a character. We left Louisville on Sunday morning heading home. We ran together till we got to Nashville where we split up. That old man wasn't scared to run on down the road. Deb and I are sorry for your loss.
 
Sadly another great Marauder brother has passed. Sorry for your loss. May he RIP.


Sent from the White House on the tax payers dime.
 
Eric and I send our love to Maury's family and especially his beloved Ginny. We regret never having the pleasure of meeting him in person but felt a kindred spirit around his love of family, his Marauder and the club members he interacted with on line and in person over the years. He will be missed by all here. RIP Maury.
 
Sorry to hear and just read this--I never met him but we did have a few PM's--You somehow felt you knew him forever when you talked to him-- A great MM family member--My prayers to his family and RIP.
 
I haven’t been here in years but something told me to stop by today. It would be just like Maury to tap me on the shoulder and let me know that I needed to pay attention. So many memories with this man. Watching him argue with the Texas Motor Speedway staff about how the speed limit for the charity laps shouldn’t apply to us because we were all well-seasoned drivers who know our cars. Convincing Chuck’s Car Show that we needed our own Marauder class. Trying to keep up with him on his infamous I20 banzai runs. Maury had a full life because that’s exactly how he wanted it. There’s dignity and soul in that. RIP Sir- Godspeed.
 
One of my favorite characters to be around. A true gentlemen and an infectious enthusiasm for everything. Sad to hear of his passing. God Bless.
 
I set flowers on our behalf.

Pop Pop Rauder

We were honored to convoy so many miles with you.

So very sorry to hear this news about Maury "Pop Pop" Marauder. R.I.P. Buddy !! Condolences to your family and friends. I met the "cruzer" for the first time at Marauderville III (MV3) in Detroit, Michigan in August 2005. Sat in the hotel lobby and listened to his military service and aircraft/airline exploits over his lifetime while viewing his binder of photos. It was mesmerizing ... the things he had done and seen during his lifetime was incredible. He was a true asset to the Marauder Community. He will be missed !!

I have added "cruzer"/Maury to the "In Memoriam" Forum here and included a link to his Obituary >>>>> https://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?84824-quot-In-Memoriam-quot-forum&highlight=memoriam
 
So sorry to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers to his family.

Beautiful flowers, thank you for sending those Mary.
 
Maury,

I never had the pleasure in meeting you, but from reading your posts and watching the interview that you gave with Stephen Fagin (Living History with Captain Maury Seitz July 15, 2009), You are held in my highest regard as a decent man and human being.

If anyone would like to honor this man by watching the above-mentioned interview, it can be found on YouTube at the following link; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZvgHdSMlQM If you prefer not to watch the video here is a very brief synopsis on a small portion of Maury’s life, from the Living History channel.

“The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented an interview between retired U.S. Air Force Captain Maury Seitz and Associate Curator Stephen Fagin. A Former U.S. Air Force captain who later served as a longtime captain for American Airlines, Seitz was co-pilot on numerous chartered flights that backed up Air Force One during the Kennedy presidency. Seitz met the Kennedy family and spent time with Caroline and John Jr. During the Cuban missile crisis, his plane carried a JFK decoy during a top-secret flight.”

Maury, God's Speed, you will forever more be flying high.
