Sean and I were great friends for many years.  His wife Louie, Sean, Christine and myself spent many holidays and trips away together.  Sean was always engaging company and Louie and himself made a great complementary couple – Sean quiet and witty, Louie exuberant and good fun.

Sean worked for a number of years in the UK and Europe especially for food manufacturers (in spite of his limited diet of prawns and avocados) and finally found his niche with Mason Hayes and Curran Solicitors in Dublin where he oversaw the first major implementation of a legal accounting system in Ireland.  He remained closely associated with them after retirement and was always invited to social functions and financial events within the business. 

He was an avid bridge player in Portmarnock, Malahide Regional and Malahide golf club – being renowned for his playing ability and unusual bidding techniques.

He is sorely missed by Louie and his sons Gerald and Conor and also by his many friends.
