My thoughts and prayers are with the Sheehan family today. Charley was a wonderful man and I feel very blessed to have spent so much time with him and the Sheehan family while growing up. I am sorry to have missed the funeral, a closure of this life, but he will always live on in our wonderful memories of Lombard, La Grange Park, Florida and Saugatuck. May pleasant memories be a source of peace for all of you.

It has been a great priviledge to have been a friend of Charles Sheehan. Charlie left an indelible imprint upon the metalcasting industry through his years of service to it marked by his forthright honesty, integrity, leadership and vision. Those of us that worked with him will long remember his humor and easy manner. Our sympathy and love go out to Peg and all his family. Harold and Jill Horton

Many fond memories of family vacations together and other social events KC's pool parties etc. They sure were fun. I'm glad that most of our families were able to have a reunion at Saugatuck in 2003. Peggy please call when you are able .

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Mrs. Sheehan, Tom, and all the children and grandchildren for your loss.



Mr. Sheehan was a wonderful man and I have many fond memories of vactions, holidays and pool parties with Charley and Peggy and all the kids. I would like to think he is now with friends in a place like the "Sun Dodgers Club" in Pensacola Beach or up at Saugatuck.



Our prayers are with him and all of his family.
