Seamus was a special friend of my family's, particularly my late father Vincent "Bud" Corbett. I think my mom and dad's favorite memories were of old times at Rod's with their Irish pal Seamus. May God bless his soul and care for his family and may they remember all the best times they shared with him.

We were neighbors in Chatham and our children played together. Our prayers go out to you. What a legacy of families and children Seamus has left. May God keep you in the palm of His hand, Lena.
