To the Toomey Family I give my greatest and sincerest sympathy from the bottom of my heart.
Sean was an amazing young man and I loved him dearly. He became a true friend and a close buddy while we worked together at Summit Family Energy. He had a contagious smile, he was the reason I smiled at work every morning. He was taken too early from this life and I'm sure he will be watching over his kids from up above.GOD did he talk about those kids!
My heart goes out to Abby, the children's mother. He had WONDERFUL things to say about you :) You sound like an amazing woman and I send you, Sean Jr. And Mai extra blessings, well wishes and prayers.
He will always be more than just a friend to me. He will always be a member of the S.F.E. family
All of my love Sean

Please accept our sincerest condolences at this sad time in your life. Sean was a friend of our son, Andy and would sleep on our couch when they were younger adults. I am heartbroken to read of his passing and must express my sincerest sympathy to you and your family at this time. No words can truly let you know how horribly I felt to read Sean's obituary. Know that years back when he spent a good deal of time in our home we thoroughly enjoyed his company. With Sincerest Sympathy and Sadness for a life gone much too soon, Andrea & Ira Caplan
