I am so very saddened to hear of Sean's passing. My deepest condolences to his family. Sean was such a wonderful singer with a rich beautiful voice and his love of Irish music was inspiring. A gentleman too, - I will never forget the wonderful welcome he gave us at Carberry's Irish session years ago, a unique night of great music and song. He will be greatly missed by the Irish music community and his passing is a terrible loss . May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of your loss Vera, my condolences to you and your family. Much love
To you all from Helen at Blythe House Hospice at Home

When sorrow lays us low
for a second we are saved
by humble windfalls
of the mindfulness or memory:
The taste of a fruit, the taste of water,
that face given back to us by a dream,
the first jasmine of November,
the endless yearning of the compass,
a book we thought was lost,
the throb of a hexameter,
the slight key that opens a house to us,
the smell of a library, or of sandalwood,
the former name of a street,
the colors of a map,
an unforeseen etymology,
the smoothness of a filed fingernail,
the date we were looking for,
the twelve dark bell-strokes, tolling as we count,
a sudden physical pain.

Eight million Shinto deities
travel secretly throughout the earth.
Those modest gods touch us —
touch us and move on.

Sincere sympathy to you Vera and family and to all the Corcoran family at thís very sad time...

Sean came from a lovely family. His life was a tribute to his upbringing. We will miss his wondetful voice. May God grant him eternal rest.

As far back as the 70s, for us Seán was an inspiration, as a singer, a collector and a friend. Whether it was in the Tradition Club in Capel Street or Féile na Bóinne, or the Mall in Washington DC he was a promoter of the best of music and song and a beautiful interpreter of the best of tradition. Our deepest condolences to Vera and his extended family.
