Please
note: a very fine set of cigars and a bottle O'McClellans Single Malt
Scotch Whisky have been enjoyed in honor of Mike Sheehan's contribution
to our direction in life. He contributed in a singular way to where we
are today at this very moment. He means much to me and mine.

We always enjoyed the company of Mike as a friend at the extended family gatherings at which we were fortunate enough to get invited. A good humored, regular guy. We'll miss him and extend our sympathy to Eva and the whole Sheehan family.

Mike Sheehan and I were the best of friends for over thirty years. On occasion, Mike, Marty Kennedy, Gerry Dunigan, Billy DeCicco and myself would get together to discuss politics as well as the problems of the world. In all the discussions, never once was there a heated argument or an angry word. I'm sure that does not surprise any of Mike's other friends ... I'm sure all their experiences were the same.

Mike will be greatly missed as friends like him are so few.

Jenny and I have some fond memories of Mr. Sheehan, The Judge. The conversations weren't long, but the moments were unforgettable. Our memories almost always involve him sitting at the kitchen table, enjoying a cigar and drink, the radio on the refrigerator playing music in the background. Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan were always willing to open up their house and table to us whenever we needed it. It meant a lot to us and we are greatful to have known such a man and family.

The members of the Illinois Movers' and Warehousemen's Association remember Mike Sheehan fondly. As an attorney he represented the Association; and as a friend to the industry, he and his lovely wife Eva were welcomed to our conventions every year. Mike has always been held in high regard at IMAWA, and we extend our sincere condolences to his family.

Judge Sheehan will always be remembered by the Kennedy Family as the man who got my dad the best job he ever had! You are in our thoughts.
