My condolences to the family. I had been in the same congregation a few ago with Sean and also we lived in the same apartment complex we often left at the same time and it was nice to give each other a hello and a smile.

I don't even know where to start with what Sean meant to me & my family, so, I guess I'll start at the beginning when we met 36 years ago. As a young 19 year old, Sean grew to be an important part of the team at Thompson-Hysell Engineers. When we bought Mid-Valley Engineering in 1996, we were lucky enough to have Sean right along side us. Sean was an integral part of so much in our business. Sean worked well with the Clients & made many friends along the way. All of Sean's co-workers became instant friends as well. Sean was also an important part of our family. Both of my children have a lifetime of memories of Sean. He was there from the beginning of their lives. While there is a huge hole in our hearts that will never be filled, we will honor Sean in remembering all he brought to enrich our lives. To Paula, Julie & Shannon ~ thank you for sharing Sean with us all these years. Please know how much he is loved. You are in our thoughts & prayers, now & always. Until we see Sean again, we will never forget him & will love him forever.
