I was so saddened to hear of Sean’s passing. We last met up in the late 90’s and he was always great company but he has left us far too early. Extending my deepest sympathies to Uncle Paul & Auntie Cynthia, from the other side of the pond.

I haven’t seen Sean since he left Ireland over forty years ago but I have very fond memories of him. He was great fun and very intelligent. Even then I could tell he was going to be brilliant at whatever career he chose. Deepest sympathy to all his family and friends.

Sean was the BEST plumbing designer I've ever worked with; he was truly gifted. His designs were accurate and well done and his hard work was an inspiration for all. I will also always remember him for his kind and gentle spirit. I'm so sorry to hear he is no longer with us. May those he loved find peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.

I’m so sorry to hear of Sean’s passing. I’m thankful that we met through work (PACE Collaborative) and became friends back in the day. Sean was such a great guy, so kind and easy going. We had a great time going bowling with the PACE gang on Friday nights, he was a great bowler! I’m so sorry he left us so soon. RIP, YP ❤

I’ve been honored with Sean’s friendship since the mid-80’s. I worked with him in the early years as his cubicle was right next to mine. He later became one of the very first members of the PACE engineering family. He was always good-natured and pleasant. He always worked hard and he always produced excellent work. Everyone enjoyed having him on the team. We will all miss him. We pray for comfort for his family and his closest friends.
