Sean enjoyed skiing, golfing, tinkering in his garage, building, fixing and creating. He loved a good campfire, being outside enjoying mother nature and travelling to sunny warm destinations whenever he could. He was a true handyman who had many skills and was willing to help whoever asked. Quick with a witty comeback and a wicked sense of humor and an infectious laugh, he was affectionately known as Digger to many friends and coworkers.
