Alright to use a sire who has had seizures?

My 4 year old sire has had 2 seizures, one in February and one in June.  Is it OK to use him to breed again?

Yes, completely irresponsible.  Proper breeding is a science not a hobby.  Done correctly, a lot of studying and research should be done if the breed and the lines and health history of generations of the sires and dams.
If this is hereditary, and it probably is genetic, you could most likely bring more dogs into this world to live miserable lives.
Please take these things into consideration and be responsible.
Not meaning to flame, just the facts.

No.  He could pass this on to his pups.  He may have done so already, before you knew he had any sort of neurological problems.  Blessings - Vlu

That would be considered "Irresponsible Breeding" by risking the passing on of a genetic trait, to unsuspecting new parents of your puppies!  Karla
