For years, friends of Marion Seward could find him parked in one of the northernmost benches of Hattiesburg's Town Square Park.

But the 65-year-old Vietnam veteran hasn't sat there for about a month.

The last time his friend Frank Bunnell saw him was July 24. Seward showed up for a Sunday outreach session at the Hope House, where Bunnell heads up the program.

"We open our doors to our homeless family, usually on Sunday," said Chris Wilkes, president of the soon-to-be nonprofit organization.

Bunnell said he loaned Seward a coffee mug in violation of Hope House rules the last Sunday he showed up. He trusted Seward to leave the mug where he said he would near his usual bench.

Bunnell came back the next day and picked up the mug - exactly where Seward said he would leave it. However, Seward was nowhere to be found.

  1. I am so glad to hear thoughtful words spoken about Mr. Seward. May God bless him in heaven and for eternity for his service to his fellow man. "Greater love hath no man than he who lay down his life...." God, please tell Mr. Seward thank you from me.
