GUESTBOOK
Always enjoyed working with Sean, He will be missed, Bless his family, -Dan Pedzinski, IBEW 531
I was in the same IBEW LU 531 apprenticeship class with Sean. I can't recall him ever being anything but happy every time I'd see him.. He was always making me laugh and was genuinely a great person to have ever crossed paths with, and I'm thankful I did. I was shocked when I heard this tragic news. My sincerest condolences to his friends and family. May God find some way to comfort them and help this make sense. RIP, Sean In solidarity, -Allen Easton
I love you Sean Ryan and look forward to the day when we meet again. There will not be a single day or Black Wednesday that will pass where I am not thinking of you. Rest peacefully buddy. -Chelsea Crowe
