Not sure what to say?

what a nice surprise to see Mr Sheridan's smiling face when i opened my email today. he always had a big smile and hug for me anytime i visited their home. his love and laughter continues today through his daughter and my friend Mary Pat.. he'll be missed today and always.

Mr. Sheridan was the type of man to enter a room and command attention for all the right reasons. He was witty, caring, generous and honest. He will be missed by many. It was an honour and a pleasure to have met him.

Very sorry for your loss. John worked with my father Robert Seymour as a bricklayer for many years. I work at Community General Hospital and John was always asking about my father (who also just passed away in December). I'll miss seeing John in the halls of CGH.

So sorry for your loss. Your dad was a wonderful, caring & very funny man. He volunteered in the military so that we could enjoy the freedoms so many take for granted today.We will miss him at Mim's St. Patrick Day Hooley's!! God Bless you Mr. Sheridan.

Your with the gang now Old Friend

Mary Pat, So sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad, and your mom a few years back. I still remember the John and Ione stories you told long ago. I was just thinking about you the other day and wondered if you can still eat a whole flattened pound cake. If you feel like talking, E-mail me. I'll keep you and your parents in my prayers.

I was saddened to hear of his battle and passing. John was a great man who served as another grandfather figure to me. He had such a wonderful energy and spirit. I went to college with someone who volunteered with him at the hospital, and he knew him well and also commented on the energy he brought in working there. He’ll be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to meet up with him.

You'll always in be in hearts "Big John"...
Until we meet again..

Tony, Mike, Joe & Mary Pat,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Both your parents were such a big part of our lives for so many years. I can't believe they are all gone now, but I bet they're having one heck of a reunion!
