Richard A. Sheehan

Dear Sheehan/Viehmann family. Today being the 12th anniversary I wanted to be in touch about my old friend and tenant in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Having a fine arts background myself, Richard and I would talk shop in the cellar of the house where he kept his work. I have three of his paintings to remind me of him. Tim Kane

To the Sheehan family,

I was shocked and deeply saddened today to read of Richard's death last August. Please know that my thoughts are with all of you. I was fortunate enough to have had Richard as an instructor in one of the Art New England workshops, and I still draw upon the many benefits of his teaching in my own artwork. I would be honored to share with you a few recollections of my acquaintance with Richard, should you wish to contact me. For now, I'll simply say that the world...

Dear Laura and children
I am your second cousin and we have never met. I knew your dad/husband as a child and a young man but my life has sent me many miles from my Boston home. My memories are all happy ones and that is what I wish for you.

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember when my mom, Dorothy Beard, took me to his parent's house and I saw the painting of Little Lulu, I so wanted it to be mine! What a wonderful artist, brother, father, neighbor, husband and man. We were all blessed to know him, even just a little.

Dear Sheehan Family,

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. You are all in
my thoughts and prayers.I'll be
looking forward to seeing you back on the bus soon. Take Care and God
Bless. Sincerely,
Patricia Iwuc

Dear Laura, I was shocked and saddened to hear of your sudden imcomprehensible loss. From reading through the guest book I see that you and Richard must have shared a quality I see in you; that of appreciation and joy about the little successes and pleasures that could easily pass us by. I am sure Richard would not want you to lose that and may God and Richard's everlasting spirit give you the strength to continue that appreciation and joy as you and your sons grow together after your...

I cannot tell you how shocked I was to read about Richard in the paper. I always remember him as being so kind, gentle and gracious. He was always smiling and so enjoyed life.
I always marvelled in his delight at being a parent. He got such joy from sharing life with you and his two boys.
God bless you and may God keep you in his care.
