A loss of consequence, Our prayers and condolences to Sean's family, Can see a wee plane bearing a 'Semper Fi' bannee across the clouds. RIP Sean

Sean Heaney was my best friend. There was a time when I wasn't thinking about anything except poetry and Sean. We met in Colorado in 1982. See you soon, Seanie.

Miss you so much already. Love you, Seaney.

This poem comes to mind whilst contemplating Sean, both his life and transit.... "Pied Beauty" by Gerard Manley Hopkins Glory be to God for dappled things - For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches´ wings; Landscape plotted and pieced - fold, fallow, and plough; And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

Matt Guidmore I was Sean's classmate at MASH, Milford NH HIGH, we graduated the same year in 1977. I remember Sean as a quiet rebel. In my mind I can see him striding up the hallway at school his lanky frame swaying back and forth, his wild head of curly locks matching his stride. If I remember correctly, his taste in music was BOB DYLAN. I can see him sitting at the table or desk his head supported with one hand. I was not close to Sean, but these are my school memories.....

Swamy, i´ll always remember the good times watching the stooges driving through the Vermont countryside listening to music and watching great movies. Most of all I will miss our great conversations. Be at peace brother and enjoy your reward. Jeb.

Jocelyn - I am so very sorry .. sending all my love your way.
