Rest easy, buddy. It’s been a minute, but I always enjoyed running into you spontaneously. You were always a larger than life personality. Cashier: “did someone help you with these children’s sneakers?” Customer: “yes, the big guy in the back with his hair in pigtails” 😂🙄😂 That was, and always will be you!! Godspeed!! 😇

Sean, you were one of a kind. I’ll never forget all the times you defended me and found me so many opportunities. The most amazing, caring and loving friend. The world lost so much love when you left us. I will think about you forever, hope you resting in peace with all of the Jameson you could possibly want!❤️

I only met you about six or seven times but You were the nicest person and I felt like I known you forever. You were one of a kind. You were absolutely the best and nicest person I ever met in my life. I'll never forget how kind you were, May you rest in peace and God bless you.

Gone too early guy..although I didn't know you for a long time I am happy that I did know you. From our first hours long conversation that went everywhere from nerding out on sci-fi, bourbon, food, the industry we have grown up in, our shared pride in one of my students, and our love of being a Philadelphian to the core, it was easy to see we just met, but seemed to know and respect each other. Thanks for all the easy and fun conversations. I loved being on your podcast. It wasn't work. It was talking with friends. I truly wish we had more time to hang out. I will miss the time that could have been. You were a good dude. I'm proud to have called you friend. Rest in peace Sean.
