As many of you know our Father Garry Seals was brutally murdered on August 12th 1984 in Celina, Oh.by Mark Stemen. Mark was sentenced to 15 years to life. He eventually was granted parole against our wishes! He could not follow the rules and was at a bar where he got into an altercation where he then pulled a knife and was sent back to prison. He is now going back up for parole so once again we will go on June 13th. This time they won't make a decision until July. I am doing a petition this time so if you would like to sign it let me know. If you see me out and about I will have it with me. I am asking any of my out of town-state friends If you would like to send a letter simply stating that you want parole denied please include his name & inmate number Mark Stemen #A1B2954 and mail it to me at P.O. Box 206 Mendon, Oh. 45862 I will take everything and present it. All material submitted will be maintained so they will have it for future reference. Any questions just message me. Thanks!

Seeing this level of support for my father reminds me that he is not forgotten and his life actually matters to so many people. It gives me renewed strength to face the parole board and make sure they understand the danger this man still poses.

Gary was a very close friend of me and my husband at that time ' Chris Sweeney' ' this bastard don't need to get out, must keep him locked up and throw the key away for life, Gary would not hurt a soul, and I think of him everyday, I brought a few cars off of him, he was one of a kind, thanks,
I don't feel he should be released and given freedom as the children and family of Gary has had to go on with a void due to this mans actions. He was given early release and proved he could not be trusted out in society once, he needs to be incarcerated longer with no early release.
Please deny parole to this killer. He took away a father, brother, son and and uncle. He could not follow the rule of law so keep him locked up forever. Thank you. Brian Seals
I live in the community with my significant and are for children and I'm worried about him being loose in our community how many people does he have to kill or temp to kill before he is designated as a harm to society? Who has to die in order to see that he does not need released
I strongly believe that some people have no conscience and feel no remorse for the things they do.I hope the you the parole board take into consideration the things that Mark Stemen #A1B2954 has done to devastate several families and have the foresight to see to it that he doesn't leave capacity to do it again.
It is not safe to allow this person back in society
This is the grandfather I never got to meet. If you think the person responsible for his death deserves to walk free because he "did his time" or because "all sins are forgiven through Christ," I want you to imagine it was YOUR father, brother, uncle, grandfather that was murdered. I don't want people to go through what losing a loved one brings, but part of me wishes it would happen to those that preach about how forgiveness is a virtue. I can guarantee you that they would seek justice, either legally or illegally. It's easy for people to speak about things that they've never been through.

This guy murdered someone and was going to murder someone else. Obviously he lied to the parole board when he stated he was reformed and sorry. Keep him locked up to keep society safe.
