Happy Birthday Sean!! I always use to send you a card on your birthday & you'd always say," why do you send me a card when I live up the street'? b/c you are my friend., that's why!! Hope your birthday in heaven is as wonderful as you are. I miss you.
Take Care, love you, Tia

Sean was such a great guy. I still use his jokes and probably always will. They never fail to make people laugh. He had a gift for it right from the very beginning. He was a great Dad and gave to the world three great kids to carry on his legacy. Sean may be gone from us now but his memory will live on. Let us count our blessings as we mourn and celebrate all the smiles he gave us.

Uncle Richard, Jeff, Gretchen -just received a note from my sister, I am deeply saddened by the loss of my Sean… He was smart, charming, funny and always a true gentleman
Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same
A lovable cousin who was always a pleasure to be around. He could always put a smile on your face.
I have alot of found memories with Sean,
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. I love you man...........

I write this with a sad heart. Sean was the only kid in 2nd grade who could pull off wearing an ascot in his school picture. No one else will ever be that cool to me. I have a lot of great memories. Sean and your dad did a lot for me and I will be forever greatful! Hope you two are well.

My deepest sympathy to Sean's family and friends. I hung out with Sean during those wonderful formative teen years before I left Erie at the age of 18. Although many years have passed since then (I'm 56 now) and I lost touch with him, my memories of Sean always come with a smile. He was my first male friend and first prom date, and I will never forget him. From reading these posts, it is nice to see that he was a good man and had a rewarding life. I am sad that I will not have an opportunity to reconnect with Sean in this life. May he rest in peace.
