All who knew Sean share the loss of a great, great person. As a nephew, Sean was a role model for all of his cousins and loved and respected by each and every one of them. As a past employee in my Design Build Company, Sean was an integral part to many large projects. One of the hardest workers... no, THE hardest working young man I have ever known. Thank you Sean. I will miss you
