We are sorry to read of Sean's passing. I went to grade school (Lakewood) with Sean and was his neighbor in Maple Bluff. We have stayed in touch all these 70 years and enjoyed his friendship. I manage the class roster for our Lakewood class and will get the message out to everyone. Very SORRY, our condolences to the family. We will miss our friend. Sean is bottom center in 8th grade in 1954.
