Sean was the light in the room. He always had a smile on his face when he greeted you. Sean was one of the kindest person I have known. Sean we never got the opportunity to have our walking lunch we had planned since before the pandemic, so I will take that walk for us. To his wife, children and family I am sending my deepest condolences. R.I.P. my friend.

I will remember Sean for having a cool, calm head and a warm heart. He always asked how I was doing and not as a passing question. He would stop and listen in a way that made it clear he cared about the answer. My sincere sympathy to his family and the many others who all loved him.

My condolences to my Aunt Libby, Trey, and Conor. Uncle Sean was always so kind and loving to me and my brother George and made us feel completely at home with his generosity, love, and humour during visits. My family remember fondly the summers in Cleveland and Uncle Sean will forever remain integral to those happy memories. Sending all of our love to the Boland Family and keeping you all in our thoughts.
Love The Wilton family.

Oh my! I am so very shocked to hear of the passing of Sean. He was one of the nicest people I've ever worked with at BWC. Although I've been retired for 10 years now, there are some people who leave lasting impressions on you. Sean was one. Always pleasant, always kind...a true pleasure to work with. To Sean's family and friends, may your memories and love of Sean sustain you during this time, and prayers for peace and comfort are going up for you. My condolences to you all.

Sean was my co-worker and always my voice of reason. He was the nicest, sweetest most generous man. I never saw him loose his temper or had a bad word for anyone. He always made me smile, we joked a lot, I can hear him now saying “watch it Dre” My heart broke when I heard the news. He will truly be missed. Prayers goes out to his family, he truly loved you ❤

Deepest sympathies to the Boland family. I'll always remember Sean for his sharp wit whenever we exchanged banter. We mostly hung out in fantasy sports leagues and golfing, but he'd also reach out to me just to see how I was doing and ask how my life was going -- that's the kind of guy he was. Know that he will be remembered with fondness, and that the entire family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

My condolences and prayers to Libby, Trey, Conor and the entire family. Sean and I started with BWC on the same day Halloween of 1994. We always teased it's been a Halloween trick or treat ever since. Sean was more than a co-worker to me he was also a friend. I attended his wedding to Libby, I cried so many tears of happiness on that day. Sean and I shared so many thoughts, stories, and heartaches throughout the years. We'd share stories about our siblings, we'd laugh. Sean was a heartfelt joy to be around, he will truly be missed. My heart ached when I heard the news of his passing, no words can express my tears. May his family and friends hold close the memories, conversations, and good times they shared. Praying for comfort for Libby, Trey, and Conor, may God be with you all!

My sincere condolences and thoughts and prayers are for the Boland's family and friends. I had a pleasure of receiving words of encouragement when I was promoted as a Claim Service Specialist at my job.
Sean would ask me how am I doing? He would ask me about my family.
His quick smile and laughter made your day. I will truly miss him and I pray that the family will experience the pleasant memories and love he has for everyone.
God will help you through these difficult times and bring you much peace.

I am so saddened by Sean's passing. I have had the pleasure of knowing him through work for the last 5 years. Sean was one of the first people I met when I relocated to that office. He was one of those genuine, kind, sincere people who leave a lasting impression on everyone he meets. Sean was so proud to share the love he had for his wife and boys. My prayers for comfort and peace to all of his family during this difficult time. I know he will live on through every one of you.

We met Sean for the first time as the coach of our son's soccer team. His ability to express kindness and interest in others was inspiring. Whenever we would see him around town, he never failed to stop and ask about our family and our day was better from having encountered him. Prayers for Libby and the whole family that happy memories of Sean may bring some measure of peace and comfort.

Sean was kind and genuine and in coaching our boys over the years he not only taught them to be good athletes, but by example, to be good people. As a parent, you find yourself grateful for the influences in your children’s lives that have a hand in molding them into who they are and I know Sean was one of those people for Levi.
Thank you Boland Family for sharing him over the years. We are so very sorry for your loss.

Sean was a precious soul as my counterpart co-worker. He was a true man of valor. I appreciate our kind conversations wherein he was so complimentary of my work. Although his passing gave me shock and awe, I know that God still does all things well concerning us. Sean was a good and faithful servant and now has his wings and reward. My sympathy goes out to all family and friends. We trust God for comfort and safe passage that only he can give. My circle of intercessory prayer warriors are on the wall. Grace and Peace.

Sean was one of a kind. Such a gentle and kind soul. I looked forward to every single Monday and Saturday shift with him. I loved talking sports and life in general with him. He was always there with a helping hand whenever I needed it. Work and life will never be the same without him as a part of it. Prayers to the entire Boland family. Much love.
