I first met Sean in the 60s when he visited my parents in Reading. He was bright eyed and full of mischief. When he married Patricia, he settled down but still kept the twinkle in his eye, despite very long hours working extremely hard, often away from home. He and Patricia raised a happy and loving family, but still had time for family and friends. I will always remember his kindness and support when I lost my first wife and then my parents. My sincere condolences to Patricia and the family. Sean was one of the good ones and I will always remember him with a smile and be grateful that I knew him.
Rest in Peace Sean.
