I graduated with Shawn. I’m sorry to hear of his passing and it makes me think about my own life. I wish I’d been more like him when I was young always goofing off, not taking life too seriously and just enjoying it in general. It seems that the class of 86 is passing from this world awfully quick. Once again, I am sorry to hear that he passed.
