Not sure what to say?

Tom #26, we had so many great times throughout the years...playing football and softball games with the Mini Brutes and Continental Bank, Red Barrel "Home of the Mini Brutes", working together at Continental Bank, Two Rivers Tournaments, golf outings in Illinois and Arizona and so many times just sitting, relaxing, talking and laughing over good food and drinks...so many drinks! You were always a great friend and I'll certainly miss your quirky sense of humor. I know you're in a better...

To the Sheehan Family... I am sorry for your loss. Your family has been added to my prayers. I pray for your comfort and strength. I add to the plethora of people who have had the honor of knowing Tom. I worked with/reported to Tom at Federal Home Loan Bank. He was a great man to work for. A man with great character morals and integrity. The world is emptier without him in it. Peace be with the Sheehan Family.

Had the pleasure of knowing and working with Tom at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, He was a kind and gentle person. Please accept my deepest sympathy., and may he rest in peace.

My siblings and I are so sorry to hear of Mr. Sheehan´s passing. We all knew him from when he taught at Nativity of Our Lord School in Bridgeport, Chicago in the 70´s. I always spoke of him as the best teacher I ever had. He taught us the street grid of Chicago and I´ve used that knowledge my whole life. I also remember the map quizzes, where we had a minute to find some tiny location on a big world map. He was smart, funny and entertaining. Sounds like he lived a great life after he...

So sorry to hear this news. Tom was my supervisor twice at Continental Bank, once in letters of credit (I remember his late wife Sandy Foster too), and again in loan documentation. Thanks to our mutual friend, Jack Lyndon (a loan doc coworker), Jack, Tom, and I would periodically have lunch at the Walnut Room. My wife, Pam Schmidutz, fondly recalls Tom at Continental having met him through her former boss Jim Borowitz.

Mr. Sheehan was my homeroom history teacher at St. Rita H.S. 1967-1968. He was well liked by the students and was very tall, about 6'3" if I recall. I can still remember his mannerisms and his teaching style. It was interesting reading his life's story as I always wondered what became of him after he left St. Rita. May he rest in peace.

Sandy, so sad to hear about Tom's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Tom at Continental Bank and later at the Home Loan Bank. We golfed occasionally and he will be missed. My best to you and his family. Joe

Rest for eternity in the serenity of God's Kingdom, Tom. I'll miss your kind and gentle nature. May the peace of Christ be with Matthew, Sandy and extended family during this time of mourning.

Tom welcomed me wholeheartedly into the Sheehan family over 20 years ago. I will miss his steady presence, his extreme generosity, his thoughtfulness and his witty comments. We´ll miss you Tom! So sorry for your loss Sandy.
