To the family,
Shawn worked for me several years ago at Long John Silvers. My children also worked there and he became my son Robert's only really good friend here in Lehighton. My son now lives in Erie and tried to see Shawn whenever he would come home. He was a wonderful young man. When we heard about his untimely death we were all greatly saddened. I can not begin to express our families sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
