Our deepest sympathy goes to the entire McDonough family during this difficult time. Sean worked with my Dad at his Blacksmith Shop in Walpole when he was fighting his own battle with this devastating disease. Our only hope is that Sean had friends to help him in the end just as he helped my Dad. May you find comfort knowing what joy he brought my Dad during his most difficult times. Thank You Sean. Now sleep well - you've earned it. God Bless.

Sean was one of the good guys. Rough on the outside but if you got to know him you knew he would be there to back you up or help you out. I have many memories of hanging out with him in the "batcave" and spending X-mas 09' with my family. It is sad to see you go but the pain is gone and may you shine down from above.

Sincerly,
Ted
