The audience: sisters, husbands, kids, friends, grandparents.
The players: Holly Devine, who chimes in while the star, her fiancé, Sean Gordon Corbett O'Neill, an equities trader at Cantor Fitzgerald, bellows, dances, spices, clatters and tastes, ultimately producing a savory, crowd-pleasing dish.
"Santa Fe chicken!" shout Holly and Sean. "It's a' finger-lickin'! Whatcha got itchin?' "
The charming, exuberantly silly little brother of three sisters, Mr. O'Neill, 34, was happily stepping into his life. For years a Northeast nomad, he had finally settled in Rye, N.Y., bought and fixed up a cabin in Vermont for skiing and family holidays, and on June 2, the wedding anniversary of his parents, James and Rosaleen, married Ms. Devine.
He still had that time problem — didn't 7 o'clock mean 10 o'clock? — and organization wasn't his strongest point. But a Labrador-like loyalty to friends and family certainly was. So was that un-self-conscious enthusiasm: who else but Uncle Sean would grab a wave skimmer, race into the water after the 11-year-olds, crack his head, sit up laughing, and cajole the other grown-ups to try it, too?
With his newfound mix of adulthood and youthfulness, Mr. O'Neill was even getting ready for fatherhood. His and Holly's daughter is due this month: Mr. O'Neill referred to the baby as the Devine Intervention.

Sean, The last time I saw you was when we were small children running around your family home in NY. I don't know if you can remember me, but I grew up with your family in Rome. Your mother is my Godmother and your father was my Godfather. Because of your mother, my middle name is Seton, after Saint Elizabeth Seton.
When I moved to the east coast in 2000, I meant to get in touch with you and your parents, but by the time you left the earth, it was too late to see you again, and your...

I first met you 23 years ago when you cried your eyes out because I was adopting your 2 year old foster sister and she was leaving your home. She loved you and from that day so did I. She's 25 now and still calls you her big brother. Our favorite picture is of you carrying Kira on your shoulders. I never miss hearing your name called every 9/11 and cry each time. The hurt and missing you will never, never go away but then there are good memories of a wonderful, caring, fun loving young man....

Hey O
Heard you name read today. Hard to believe it has been 11 years. My niece met Sean this summer at a pool and both she and my sister mentioned what a uniquely nice girl she is. They did not connect the dots until later, and I explained that Sean is Sean's daughter and clearly she is your daughter.
The world is a lesser place without you in it. Your were always a great friend and a person with a special light.

I attended the Santa Cruz County 9/11 Memorial today in Watsonville, CA where the Boy Scouts handed out flags with names on them for each of the victims of 9/11. My flag had your name on it. I wanted to let your family know I'm thinking of them and you will not be forgotten.
