Sean , was a wonderful man. I went to his laundry mat , almost every week. We shared a lot of long conversation s. he was such a great guy.I am in total shock , I just can't believe it. He gave my daughter and I one of his laundry mat t shirt s. And in the warm weather he would always have ice cold bottles of water for the customer s. Sean kept his 2 laundry mat s so nice and clean. I am so sadden by this news , my heart breaks for his family. Sending hugs and prayers. Sean will be greatly missed.

Shannon & Family,
I am extremely sorry to hear of Sean's passing. We graduated together and I always considered him a friend. My washing machine broke about 6 months ago and I went to his laundromat and we got to catch up on old times, I'm glad I saw him. Hugs to you all.

What a huge loss to our community. Always so kind and respectful, helping people every chance he got. I will miss our conversations about golf and sports while cleaning and waiting for our items to finish. Thoughts and blessings to his family.
