Robert J. Seeger

Robert J. Seeger sadly passed away Thursday August 1, 2024, after courageously battling Leukemia for the last two years, and always having a positive attitude. Born in Philadelphia, PA to the late Elizabeth (Skank) and Robert J. Seeger and was a resident of Bensalem for the past 24 years and was formerly of Perkasie, PA and Newtown, PA.

Robert was a passionate horse trainer for Plumstead Stables, which he owned and operated for over 30 years as well as Sweetbriar Farm.

Robert was not just a thoroughbred horse trainer and breeder; he was a paragon of the industry. Throughout his success career he won over a 1000 races, numerous Parx racing awards including owner/trainer of the year and a well-deserved spot in the Parx Racing Hall of Fame. His dedication to the sport reflected through his service as a board member on the PTHA and his role as the past director of the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association and was a former member of the Parx Chaplaincy. In addition, Robert had the honor of having his horses, Tri for the Gold and Golden Lake, bestowed with the titles of PA State Champion and Parx Champion.

Beyond the racetrack, Robert's love for life shone through his hobbies. Whether cruising on his boat, exploring new destinations, or lending a helping hand with his mechanical expertise, Robert embodied kindness and generosity in every interaction.

Robert is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Roberta “Robin” (Cotter) Seeger. He is also survived by his siblings: Edward Seeger (Kathy), Betty Gail Fisk, and Susan Seeger (Joy) and many loving nieces, nephews and friends. Robert was also preceded in death by his brother, Stephen Seeger.
