Not sure what to say?

Mr. Sheehan was one of my favorite teachers. His honesty, integrity and wisdom were apparent throughout his tenure at PHS- making him a great role model for all. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad Jann could be here at this time. My deepest sympathy.
Sincerely, Mary Lou Johnson

Bob made a difference in the lives of many SSHS students both as an educator and coach. Tough, but fair; firm, but compassionate; candid, but honest. A month before graduating from SSHS, Bob asked me what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I didn't have an answer. Bob's advice, Whatever you do, be passionate about it. Sound advice I took to heart. Coach will be missed.

Helen, I am so sorry to hear Bob has passed. I know My Bob and the Band of Brothers from the class of 1964 had the upmost love and respect for him!
Maybe the "Bobs" are now playing golf together or perhaps, even a little one on one basketball !
God bless and keep you and your family during this time of great loss.

Mr. Sheehan enriched us with his sense of humor, stories, and fun loving ways. Fond memories are cherished.

Bob was a great teacher and mentor to many teachers. With deepest sympathy and prayers of Peace for Bob and your whole family,
Stephanie Kittleson, Williamston, Michigan
