I played in a fantasy football league with Shawn, he was a fun guy to be around, lots of laughs and a friend to all. The world needs more people like Shawn.
We will miss our neighbor and his big smile and wave!
The website picture of cousin Shawn displays that happy smile that we will always remember him by. We extend our condolences to all his family members and friends. On this sad occasion, Shawn’s cheerful manner reminds us of happier times. From Ft. Myers, Florida…. Jim and Mary Jane Glennon
This is a wonderful picture of Shawn. It really captures his essence, so I found myself tearing up again and, when I blinked the tear away as I looked at his picture, it created a brief optical illusion that made it look like he’d given me a little wink. I wonder if he had anything to do with that? I wouldn’t put it past him. Mary Rose Glennon
Words cannot express how much I miss Shawn. I go back to childhood with Shawn and we have always been close friends. We could talk about anything with each other. Being an only child, my Haughville friends were my brothers and Shawn was one them. He may be gone but will never be forgotten. His memory will always be with me. Love you Shawn. Ed Vargas
Dear Finnerty Family, My heart is broken upon hearing about Shawn. We were St Anthony school mates and friends. I have so many memories hanging out with Shawn. We were both in the CYO One Act play and I must say Shawn a was a great leading man! I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you now. Jane Fox
Shawn was always fun to be around and easy to talk to. I remember him entertaining the kids at the numerous family reunions, weddings, and other events. I am sorry for your loss. Kevin Crews
