Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a great actor and a better person. We miss you always.

It´s seven years now and I still miss you so very dearly. You live in my heart and will for as long as I live.

Today I am sending my love to Donna and Darmia. I still remember Shawn so well. I can still see him and feel his presence. He such was warm, kind man. I remember our conversations, the way he would listen, the way he would give me the full focus of his attention and actively consider whatever I was trying to express. Such a generous soul. It seems the grief of loss never lessens ... And at the same time, one thing I know for sure - love never dies. Holding Donna and Darmia in my...

He was a lovely guy. Gentle and kind. All best to Donna and Darmia, whom he loved so.

I just discovered the sad news that Shawn is no longer with us. He was an amazing man, and a great talent. His kindness to me when I was a young actor was exemplary of his wonderful spirit. His performance in JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL... is one of the artistic moments that inspired me. Sending sympathy to Donna and his family.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Shawn. My whole family came to see Shawn perform on Broadway in a matinee performance of City Of Angels and had the pleasure of him joining us for an early dinner before his evening performance. What a gracious, charming, and talented man. My condolences to Donna Murphy, Roland Elliott and all the children and extended family. Godspeed Shawn, may your light continue to burn bright!

Oh my dears, I have only just heard of this -- very, very sad information.

I miss you dad.

I miss you so much. Words cannot say. I hope you are resting in peace. You meant the world to me. And remember, you're supposed to let me know if there is a Pearly Gate. Rolly.
