Sean and I were best friends from about 3rd grade onward into adulthood. So many good memories, especially at the beach. Sean was always one to live life on his own terms and stood for justice and equality for all people. Sean was a good man and he will be missed.

Me and Sean met in HS, we were next door neighbors for a year. I remember the basketball team Capt. telling me not to hang out with him(I was a good kid...well, I never got caught!) We became friends immediately. Mom and Pop Kettl were absolutely the best in giving our bunch a safe place to be as wild as we were! Sean wrote a corny teen angst poem that he loved to read: "Life is a Circle". It was so awful! Hahaha! He loved it. I loved that. Oh well. Maybe life is a circle in some way. It is kind of a nice thought.
I was thinking about Sean and am sorry to learn he passed away a few years ago. I taught him Latin at All Saints School inBeaumont. He was such a nice, well mannered extremely intelligent boy. I liked him alot and will always remember him.
