I was saddened to hear of Sean’s passing, I saw him in Red Deer this past summer, never crossed my mind that would be the last time. A true gentlemen. He along with his smile and humour will be missed.
Once again my condolences and best wished to his family.
To the Carrigan family:
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.
Sean was a squadron mate in VS880 and shipmate in BONAVENTURE. He was a competent pilot and always a gentleman with a subtle sense of humour.
He will be remembered.
To the Carrigan family.
I join with you in your time of grief.
Sean was a squadron mate in VS880 all those years ago, yet I remember him fondly and sincerely mourn his passing.
With best wishes, George.
To the Carrigan family,
So sorry to hear of Sean’s sudden passing. We shared the Venture experience together as well as the thrill of flying from the mighty BONAVENTURE so very long ago. He was a good friend and an excellent pilot. He will be sadly missed.
To Christine and Ryan, please accept our sincere condolences.

Very sad to hear of Sean’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Knew him from his Cadet days – real gentleman with a great sense of humour. He was a fine officer. He will be sorely missed from our midst.
