I remember Shawn from Roseland and ST. Anthony. I went to St. Anthony, also. Shawn was always nice to me when I saw him. The last time I saw him was at a St. Anthony dinner dance. We had fun just having a drink and talking about Roseland! He was alot of fun and a great guy! May he rest in peace in God´s loving arms in Heaven. We send our condolences with Love, Ray Gottardo and Family
