It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to have known and worked with Sean for the past couple of years. He exemplifies what we all hope our children will become- kind,well-mannered, hardworking people who make positive contributions whatever they're doing, wherever they go.

We are so sorry to hear about Sean; he was a fantastic boy and I'm sure he grew up to be a wonderful young man. I remember meeting him the day we moved to Tecumseh Trail in 1990. He was kneeling at your window and said, "Hi, my name's Sean. What's your name?" I'll never forget that sweet impression he made.
