In some quarters of New York City, residents have an unwritten code about how to treat their neighbors: Ignore them. But not Sean Canavan.

"Now, the family room has extra meaning," Mrs. McKeon said.

Sean and I grew up and went to school together in Sunnyside, Queens. He was always a friendly, approachable, fun-loving guy. I was shocked to learn he was among the victims of the terror attacks. RIP brother.

I can't believe it's the 20th anniversary. You were my adopted big brother in Brooklyn. Kind, reliable, funny & talented and always smiling and ready to share freely. A pure gent! Thank you for teaching me so much! Thinking of all your family on this tragic milestone!
