We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the countless life-long friends, more than we could ever mention ~ you all know who you are and how much Sean loved each & every one of you. The outpouring of love and support and sharing of memories by so many on social media for & about Sean has been a blessing to Sean’s family, and we’re confident that it will be appreciated by Liam & Owen as they get older.
Sean was preceded in death by his “bonus sister” Jennifer LeMote last November, big brother Robert (Bobby) in 2009, his sister Randee Marie in 1972 and Robin Marie in 1971.
Sean grew up in Bellingham and Franklin, MA, graduated Class of 1998 from Norfolk Agricultural High School in Walpole and attended Johnson & Wales College, Providence, RI. Sean spent most of his working career in landscaping, he got lots of restaurant experience when he worked for his brother Ric & sister-in-law Margaret at the family restaurant, the Gondola, in Leominster for several years before joining his brother Bobby, who owned Precision Landscaping in Franklin, then joined RJ Landscaping of Wrentham and Mosquito Hunters of Myrtle Beach, SC.
Sean’s love for his two little boys was immense, he felt his greatest accomplishment was his two boys Liam & Owen. Sean instilled his love for the outdoors, fishing of all kinds, and being on the water. Kayaking was added a few years ago when they began enjoying this as a family. Sean made sure Liam & Owen understood the importance of always making time to make memories with family and friends, showing them his favorite spots on Cape Cod & Newport, RI where time was spent every summer with their cousins and yes, teaching them the value of protecting the outdoors & nature, and of course the fine points of fishing since they were toddlers catching their first fish at DelCarte in Franklin and then off the piers in Myrtle Beach, memories we hope Liam & Owen will carry forever.
Sean was and always will be admired for the way he stepped into his brother Bob’s place, and tried to fill Bobby’s shoes being there for his two little boys, Dylan & Justin, who now at 20 & 18 admire Sean with all their hearts, and will truly miss everything about him.
