Sean Fegan Obituary
Sean B. Fegan eventually gave up on the lettuce he planted in his family's garden in Blauvelt in Rockland County, where he visited for Sunday dinner every week. "His scallions were his biggest success," Mr. Fegan's sister Anne Marie said; the lettuce was one of his rare defeats.
At 34, Mr. Fegan was a senior equity trader and an assistant vice president at Fred Alger Management Inc. He was meticulous about the way he looked. "He ran and worked out," Ms. Fegan said. "He had really beautiful blue eyes." Mr. Fegan also had to get the details right, whether in long, funny stories he loved to tell or when quizzing his parents, Colette and Peter, and Anne Marie and his other siblings, Catherine and Peter Jr., about how their lives were going.
But Mr. Fegan also liked to party in Manhattan, where he lived, to go to Jets games and to travel to Europe, often with his girlfriend, Jenny Hebeler. A favorite destination was County Cavan in Ireland, where his family came from and still maintains a home. He wanted the family to have dual citizenship and had applied for it for himself. "He was very proud of his heritage," Ms. Fegan said. "He always made the most of life."

Another year has passed. It seems like forever since I have heard your voice, your laugh seen your beautiful smile. I miss you beyond words. I ache for everything you have missed, being a husband, father, uncle and my brother. I miss your advice. I love you so much Seanie. I hope you are at peace. I will never get over the anger of life without you in it. I love you. The pain of this day will never end. My Fiona would have loved you. Sean Shannon, Emma, Colette and Timmy would have loved you. They all should have known you and the beautiful children you would have had. I know you are in a better place without pain and anger. Hold onto Mom until we all can be together again. I love you.

You would have been such a great father, husband and uncle. I was lucky to have a brother like you in my life. I miss your advice, your phone calls ... So much more. Sean there are no words that truly express the emptiness I feel each day without you. I hope you are at peace with mom . I love you so.

I knew you when I worked at State Street and knew your voice so well a voice I knew for many years; we spoke daily. We exchanged holiday greetings and talked about our families and lives. I found out you were gone when I saw someone (your sister or girlfriend) I don't recall. But I do know at that moment I felt your loss and the helplessness we all felt that day. After all these years I haven't forgotten and by me, you are missed, my friend.

Sean - I still remember your smile and the way you lit up a room when you walked into it. I still remember the way you lived your life - to its fullest. You had such a positive energy and anyone who knew you loved to be around you. I still clearly remember the day I saw you a couple of weeks before the 11th. I remember your suit with a bright tie, and you smiling, laughing and shortly running out to meet other people - like you always did - always having a few people to meet each night and overscheduling yourself. You had so many friends to see and enjoy.
You were a truly beautiful person and I am better for having known you. You are in our hearts and prayers.
God bless you and your family and friends.

I still have your number in my phone, I really miss your calls. The sound of your voice. The way you squint your eyes when you laugh at your own jokes. I really can't believe you are gone. I really believed you were coming back to us. I pray for your family, every holiday they have without you and Colette. continue to watch over all of us. I can think of no better angel. I really really miss you!

My deepest sympathy to Sean's family and friends. I was so saddened to recognize Sean's name on the list of victims. Sean and I worked together at The John Hartford Foundation. He was a sweet guy, who could always make us laugh at his silly sense of humor. I am deeply sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

Thought I met you over ten years ago at the New York Times, Sean, I hardly knew you.
It seems your relatively short life was filled with the joy of all things that life offers and you embraced it all.
I mourn for you and the family and loved ones who have lost you. I mourn for your goal with the New York Times that will never be realized...

We are very sorry for your loss of Sean. May his sense of adventure, his life and love continue living in those who love him. May the sorrow in your hearts be lightened by the warmth of your memories of times shared with Sean. Our hearts cry with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

My deepest sympathy to Sean's family and Jennifer, I had the pleasure of meeting Sean through my brother Dan. He did a reading at Dan & Sheila's wedding and I complimented him again on how well he did, when I saw him three days before the terrible attack of Sept. 11th - up at West Point. I will remember him. A fine young man, a true gentleman. We talked about Toyotas and he said how he and his siblings all drove a Toyota Tercel through their school days & now his sister is driving it and it's getting old. I couldn't believe it when Dan told me about Sean - after just seeing him. There's a special place in heaven for Sean. God Bless

Manhattan Disconnect
It's a chill wind that blows
Round these towering sterling spires,
It's a sun that never glows
To warm a city's face;
An acquaintance made that tires,
Till Kindness clears a Place.
To share words that were never Spoken
With a childish charmed refrain,
Spirits bruised but never broken;
Reflections framed within a smile
Of stories overtold but not the Same,
A Joy to Listen all the while.
A Song, a Prayer, a Pleasure is her voice,
Golden Spun with just airs;
To adore, a decision without choice.
A Chance Find is this treasure to the end;
Who gives Light to what she cares,
A Greater type of friend.
