Mrs Aruda and Daughters,

I worked with Sean for a short time at Mapletree and will always remember him as a devoted father and husband. I cannot tell you how many times he interrupted business discussions to brag about his family, relating the latest in his daughters adventures and accomplishments. I was shocked and so very sad to hear of his passing. Prayers, condolences and best wishes to all of you.

Dear Patti and family,
Steve and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Sean's passing. We are so very sorry for your loss. Sean was kind and gracious with a personality that was larger than life. He always had a huge smile and a warm 'hello' each time we saw him - and that is how we will remember him. He spoke of 'his girls' with pride and the love he had for you all was evident. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sad to hear of Sean's passing. I was a classmate of his at BCH. Based on what I have read about him he was quite accomplished and completely devoted to his girls. I knew him as a student but not as an adult. After learning about him and his life after BCH, I wish I did. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this time of sorrow.
