RICHARD SHEEHAN

Dear Jane and the rest of Dick's family. I was privileged to know him as an equine practitioner, a director of AAEP, one of AAEP's presidents and as the chairman of our Trustees of VSTONE. His leadership style was to be very respectful but with a very firm grasp of what he felt should be done---and it usually was done! All the best to the family he left behind; his influence on them will not be forgotten. J. Clyde Johnson V.M.D.

To Dr Sheehan´s family, My husband, Bernie Shuman, came to the Village at Willow Crossings last January. He often ate dinner with Dr Sheehan and was so impressed with him. We both are so impressed with his love of animals and his dedication. Although I really did not know him, I am amazed at his accomplishments. We are so sorry for your loss. Bernie and Gail Shuman

Dr. Sheehan was a fellow colleague on the racetrack. He was the ultimate professional and a great friend and role model. We would go to lunch together along with another colleague Dr. Marty Simensen.

Dear Jane, Richard Jr and family. My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Dick. I have a lot of great memories from our days at Rockingham and Suffolk. Lunches with him and Marty Simensen. They were great role models and mentors, which I really appreciated. Dick was the ultimate professional and a real attribute to our profession. RIP my friend.
