I worked with Shawn and Karen at PCC for many years and was happy when both were finally able to retire and enjoy the life they worked so hard to build. Shawn always had the friendliest smile and I missed that when he left. I just wanted to sent my sympathy to your family because good men stand out and he was definitely one of them!

I’m so sorry Karen, my heart goes out to you.  Thinking of all of you; Lisa, Michael, Emma, Jordan, Tracy, Frank, Kevin, Pat, Peggy and your families, 

I looked forward to seeing you, Karen and Shawn, at family gatherings. It was always heartwarming, the two of you together. 
I’ll miss his happy smile, and cheerful ways. 
 
I feel blessed to have grown up with Shawn, I always looked up to him. So many wonderful memories of happy times and laughing times and carefree days.  He was good natured and kind, and just easy and fun be with.

We will miss you Shawn.
Rest in Peace


I met Shawn & Karen both as coworkers way back in 1984 at Precision Castparts.
Karen & I were hand grinders & Shawn worked across from us on the FPI line.
Life was good back then & we had so much fun working together.
It wasn’t to long before Karen & Shawn were an “item”.
So cute 🥰 & so much in love 😻. So inseparable 😊
As time went on, Karen & I moved into other areas &  we went to other plants. Shawn stayed with FPI.
Our paths crossed again, surprised 😲 to see them at my neighbors house many years later, they were visiting Shawn’s Aunt Becky.
What a small world 🌎 it is!
Karen & I loved to do potlucks at work & Shawn loved to eat & help usher ready.
So many memories & such & sweet man.
Rest In Peace my friend ♥️

Shawn and Karen have been incredible neighbors with my parents at Pine Hollow Reservoir for years. My family would be welcomed with his huge, infectious smile and big wave each time.  Such a gracious, giving man.  
I was there yesterday visiting, and walked around Shawn and Karen's. Felt empty and sad. 
The world will miss Shawn. So sorry, Karen. 

Quite a few years being hunting partners.
