I loved Sean from the moment Sally introduced him to me. He always had a smile on his face and we loved to laugh at the same ridiculous and inappropriate stuff. I will miss him every day of my life.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sean at my work. No matter how he was feeling, he always had a big smile on his face. He would play along and laugh at my terrible jokes and antics. Although I only knew him briefly, you could tell that those who were lucky enough to know him knew he was special. To his family and friends I am so sorry for your loss.

Sean delivered mail to the County Office building. He had that beautiful smile every day. Anyone who received the mail in the morning loved going outside to get the mail and chat with him. He will be missed.

Sean was an amazing person. You couldn't be around him and not smile. He also gave the best hugs-after he hugged you, you walked away feeling the love. We all have the kindest, most amazing, funny, caring and loving Angel watching over of us now....
