I had the pleasure of doing a 24 hr duty with Sean a few days before he formed up for overseas, a very smart, helpful and bright person, God will kook after him, I'm sure he's got a special spot for Sean, he'll be watching down on us all, thinking of all his family in our prayers that God may give them strength during the difficult days ahead, rest in Peace Sean, I'm glad that I got the opportunity to meet you and chat to you for a few hours on duty, you won't be forgotten
