Not sure what to say?

Your gifts of friendship, love, laughter and loyalty are never far from the hearts of those you touched. You are missed deeply and remembered fondly. Peace to your family, Sean. You brought so much joy to mine.

We just found out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Great can sometimes be defined as simply doing it right and in that respect, Sean was one of the greatest I have come across.

Sean Connellan will surely be missed. His presence in our lives has made an enormous impact. His generosity and kindness to our family will always be remembered. Pat, Deirdre and Rory we love you very much and our prayers and thoughts will be with you.

May God keep His loving arms around Pat,Deidre & Rory.May Sean's souls rest in peace.
Great Aunt Peggy

I don't think I ever saw Sean without feeling--instantly and inexplicably--a little happier. I'm not sure I can say that about anyone else I've ever known. He had a way of looking as if he were up to mischief without ever being mean--and a way of making you feel he was glad to see YOU in particular without somehow belittling the other people in the room.

He also seemed to have a rare of gift of being happy--really happy--for other people's happiness--in situations where others (I...
