I just heard of Sean's passing today. I have many found memories of the man. He got me involved in Joe Jefferson Players, went sailing with him once, and Sean and I worked together on dolphin necopcies in the early 90's.

I was so sorry to hear about Sean's passing; he will truly be missed by all. During the difficult times ahead, please rely on our heavenly father for strength, support and comfort. Reflect on the words of Psalms 62:8 where it tells us: Trust in him at all times, pour out your hearts before him. God is a refuge for us.
