I'm so sorry for your loss. Uncle Sean was so special to us. We have really fond memories of him visiting us here in ireland and also our trips to the States. He was always so kind and welcoming. Comfort can be taken that he has been reunited with his Rose. Condolences from the Shankill Wards. Thinking of you all.

Heartfelt condolences to all the family. 
Great memories growing up on the farmin Northlands and later working together in the Steelworks in Scunthorpe before he got itchy feet and joined the Navy.
Enjoyed many reunions in Cabra  Castle and our visit to Sean and family in New York.  
He will be dearly missed by all his family and friends. 

From brother Noel  ❤️

My earliest memory of Sean was back in 1984 when he came over to England and visited us. I was 9 and so proud to tell my friends about my Uncle from NY. It was an exciting time. It’s funny but it sticks in my memory when he gave us some pocket money to get some sweets from the corner shop.  
Every time I’ve met Sean his kindness has shone through. 

All our love to you all.

From Aunty Margaret and all the family in Northlands. 

Sending heartfelt sympathy to my cousins Sean, Michelle, Jen and Kimberley, and to the extended family, all the friends and people in the community that knew and loved my Uncle Sean.  I am proud to be related to the man who I remember as an adventurer and entrepreneur and most of all kind, funny and caring.  RIP Uncle Sean….love Maureen, Paul and Cian xxx

Our hearts and thoughts are with you all , the big guy  is now with the one he loved and missed most in his life and he will never be forgotten .

We had a great night back in January 2017 on a visit to NYC. As always the family came together to welcome the overseas visitors. A lovely meal and as always stories of mischief and skullduggery, washed down with a glass or two of red. All our love, Jon, Jennie, Cicely, Eddie & Aiden


Sincere condolences to you all at this time, great memories of Sean from times spent in New York and also on his many trips back to Ireland over the years. RIP Sean 🙏.  Sean & Deirdre Ward, Lisagoan.
