The Loss of a Friend

Sean
 

I found out today that my long time friend Sean ‘Biscuits McGillicudy’ Egan passed away after battling a variety of health problems.
 
Sean was one of those unique characters that comes along once in a lifetime. It is impossible to truly describe the person that he was, although I once tried.
Here are a few things I will remember about Sean:

  • He loved drumming…all the time.
  • He was the proudest member of the Ancient Mariners I’ve ever met. He would tell complete strangers about the Mariners and how cool he thought we were, as if they should already be aware of the group.
  • He was hilariously and indiscriminately off-color to everyone, including your mother if one dared to introduce the two of them. He had a floridly graphic way of describing the world that would make grown men blush, and people loved him for it because, oddly, it was a breath of fresh air in our everyone’s-a-winner world.
  • With women, he had the greatest opening lines. Most recently, a woman was introduced to him as a former school mate and he responded with with, ‘So, we went to high school together? Did we make out behind the gym?’
  • He would write me letters, not emails, letters.
  • He would ask about my family…everyone in my family, including my grandmother and grandfather.
  • He would always have a compliment for me.
  • He would listen.
  • He loved everyone in his family and always spoke highly of them.
  • He was a true friend.

I will miss him.
