Sean was a sports enthusiast. He was an accomplished skier, snow boarder, wind surfer, and golfer. He had a passion for running which was infectious. Helping many with running form and style, road races became family activities. The Falmouth Road Race was one of his favorites. In addition to being a participant, Sean was an excellent coach. He taught many family members and friends to ski, snowboard, wind surf, golf, and play soccer.
More than participating or coaching, Sean loved to watch his girls play field hockey, run track and perform on dance teams.
