Janie, I will always remember dancing with you and Erin during Jazz Fest when Sean hosted a block party outside the bar that he owned at the time. God rest his lovely soul. Sean joins my husband, Al, who died in April 2024. I'm sure they are having a grand old time up in Heaven. Love and hugs, Siobhan

A great classmate at Christian Brothers and at De La Salle. I always looked forward to bumping into you at the St. Patrick's day parade and at our high school reunions. I was saddened by your passing, as I was looking forward to seeing that mirthful smile on your face as I regaled you with my unique sense of humor which you always sought me out to enjoy and talk over the good old days. Our golden 50th year De La Salle reunion next year will be a huge void that I will personally feel, but as a fellow Irishman, I will definitely raise a toast to you in your honor with all of our classmates from the Class of 75. Enjoy Paradise and save me a good place at the big reunion when I cross over with a shamrock in one hand and a funny joke in the other. You were the epitome of a class act; your shoes are hard to fill, my boy...

Sean walked into my bar when he was 16, and I was 20. He was leader of the pack, and we were friends ever since. He liked to stay up late and sing on the blue bridge over the bayou. A beautiful man. sadly missed already.

I worked for Sean only briefly, yet our paths crossed often throughout the years. I considered him a friend, gentleman and true New Orleanian. Condolences to his family.

Sean was such an amazing man. He was always there with a joke or piece of wisdom.
I am grateful to have worked with him for 15 years. I will miss his smile and laugh - he always lit up the room with both!
My deepest sympathies go out to his family.

Judge Sean Early was a great boss who I respected and admired. He was smart, savvy, kind and fun; but most of all he was loyal to his family, friends, New Orleans Fair Grounds Race Track, his Irish roots and the Saints!
I send my sincere condolences for your loss to his family.
