SEAN T. CONNOLLY

CONNOLLY, Sean T. Lt. Colonel Sean T. Connolly, USMC (retired), of Beachmont-Revere, age 72, died suddenly on July 2. He was the son of the late George T. and Eleanor (Russell) Connolly. Sean lived a number of places, including Okinawa with the Marines, but he returned finally to Beachmont to be a block from the ocean he loved, where he swam, boated, fished and found solace.

He is also survived by sisters, Kathryn Connolly Chase of Scituate and Lee Connolly Moschella of Reading; and brother George of Southport, NC. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Funeral Mass in the Immaculate Conception Church, 133 Beach Street, on Tuesday, July 26th at 10 a.m. In keeping with his wish to be "buried as a Marine," Interment will follow with Military Honors at the VA National Cemetery, Bourne at 1:15 p.m. Arrangements by Bisbee-Porcella Funeral Home, SAUGUS.
