A full year has passed without Sean... Missing a very special soul... I would welcome connecting with one of his family members...

To the family, please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your beloved Sean.

I was searching for Sean online after a lapse of years connecting only to learn that he is no longer physically with us.

Sean and I were best buds in high school at Bishop Ireton; he was the coolest guy in our class, and I was his nerdy sidekick (the bullies left me alone because of Sean!).

Although we lost touch in recent years, I hold special memories of the warmth and sincerity of his friendship in my heart. I was fortunate to have such a tender and blessed soul touch my life during those difficult and trying high school years, and will always hold dear my memories of him.

Peace and Love.

Sean, with that easy smile, with a laugh that made me laugh more, with a knowledge of interesting and important things, with a show of caring and understanding ... I am going to miss you.
I send my deepest sympathies to Sean´s family and friends.

Filippi, Susan, Melissa, Lucy & family

I am sending my heartfelt condolences and consoling energy to each of you!

Memories of all the parties, dinners and holidays spent
At 1512 come flooding back as I think of all the years I spent with the Clinks. From drinks on the patio while watching Frankie tend to her Garden to discussions about Film or photography in the basement ... lack of conversation never existed ... Laughter was a given and hugs a requirement.

Sean and the Clink Family is my second family and although we are saddened for the loss we experience today, it will be our gain later as we are reunited on our life´s journey; as they coincide once again.

My love to all
Guy

I will never be able to express how much I will always miss Sean. He was always nearby in my thoughts from the day he was born. Sean was honest, kind, humorous , nutty, smart and endless fun. He was a great character. Here's photo of a zoom session with Sean during covid.

Sean, going back somewhere around thirty years or so (I'm not sure exactly) we met in "Del Ray" where we both lived at the time, at a local watering hole. I always enjoyed our conversations especially about our most common interest, photography! I became friends with your family and have enjoyed knowing them and their just kinship! I'm sad to know you passed but I know you dwell in a far better place and are learning all the things you ever wanted to know. We had long philosophical conversations over a few more than once! Anyone who ever knew you is poorer by your passing but enriched by you spirit and your memory. Au revoir old friend.
