As a good friend of Sean's older brother Bob, I only knew Sean peripherally but sometimes that's the best vantage point. Sean was a kind and good-natured soul who went out of his way to treat everyone, regardless of social status, with respect and concern for their welfare. Many years ago he helped my brother, who was in Sean's high school class, through some difficult times for which I have always been grateful. My wife Laurie and I would like to pass on our condolences and wish you strength in dealing with Sean's death. Jim & Laurie Burkhardt
