Those who knew our brother could attest to his love for motorcycling along with his passion for gardening and sharing the fruits of his labour with his neighbors. Starting with his performances in the St. Pats Dancers, Sean became an avid lover of Irish and rock music. He loved the companionship of others and “in giving” which he found in being a member of the Knights of Columbus. Being a patriotic Newfoundlander “the Pink the White and the Green” was always present. Sean will be always missed and forever remembered in our hearts for his friendly, warm manner and the love of his buddy “Chester the parrot.” Many thanks to the entire staff of the Trillium Health Centre and their affiliates who aided our brother through his journey.
