We were so sorry to hear of this family’s loss. We are dear friends with Janice and George and came to know Sean through them and our Supper Club. I got to know about Sean’s construction skills when Macy was a junior in high school and he built a “ship†for her prom (in the school’s multipurpose room)! I also had the pleasure of teaching all three of his stepchildren. To all of the family and those who loved him as a friend you have our deepest sympathy and continuing prayers!
