To Sean's Family,my deepest sympathy.It has being a great loss for his family and for his extended family, Pack 93,and also for so many others who in many ways were touched by Sean :his dedication and kindness.During the last Camporama I had the opportunity to share some personal life experiences with Sean related to the Boy Scouts while we were observing the cub scouts learn about the flag.Even I just met Sean this year,I was very impressed by his attention and dedication to every member of the pack and it was also a privilege for me to meet him.My prayers to all of you.

Love,
Mrs. Swords and Your 2nd Grade Class Family 

Dear Kim and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. Sean truly was a great man, that I got to know for the last year or so. It has saddened me to have lost a wonderful person, who was so dedicated to our cub scouts in Pack 93. My heart goes out to you and your family and all of his friends that knew him.  May God bless you and your family and I am praying for you all. From the bottom of my heart, we will truly miss him.
May he rest in peace and be glorified in his love, in Jesus's name

With all our love,
Wendy and Jordan Kissinger

Dear Kim, Connor and Christian,

Hi Kim, Christian & Connor:

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you walk through this world that has turned upside down on you.  While there are no answers that help right now, nor any quick healings that will work, you have an army of friends and companions surrounding you with our love and prayer.  Here is one of my favorite poems that speaks a word of hope to me when I am on a path filled with grief.

Love that is will always be,
Even though there is a sea,
Parting life and love and all,
For in the end, the sea is small.
And all that is to be, will be;
And all that is to see, we'll see;
And all the road that we do trod,
Will be the paths that lead to God.
                                ----P. Buckley Moss

May the dark path you walk now, lead to the light of Christ and the healing and hope God will provide in time.

God's Peace ~~ Pastor Ross

Ryen and I were and are simply devastated at how profound a loss we're feeling right now, but at the same time so honored and lucky to have had so many great years and experiences loving and living life with Sean Strine as our friend.  Our thoughts and prayers to Kim, Christian, Connor, and the entire family.

Dear Kim, Christian, and Connor,

Our hearts are breaking and we can't put into words how deeply saddened we are.  Sean was such a special man.  He touched the lives of so many, including ours.  What a wonderful summer we had at Camp Mack and rafting in Ohiopyle with you.  The investment Sean made in our children through Cub Scouts is a lasting treasure. 
You and the boys are in our prayers and we are constantly asking the Lord uphold you and give you peace and strength.  We love you and are here for you.

Steve, Meg, Steven and Matthew Iseman

Kim,
I wish I knew the right words to comfort you and your family through this difficult time.  I'm just so sorry.  I'll always appreciate how Sean made sure he was there for you and the boys when it came to school and your lives in general.  The bond the four of you had was so pure and strong.  Your family truly defined what a family should be - loving and supportive of one another and always together.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys as you mourn the loss of Sean.  If I can be of any assistance for you or the boys, please don't hesitate to ask.  I'm here for you.
Tom


Christian,
I'm so sorry about your father.  He was an amazing role model, and I can already see that you carry many of his wonderful qualities.  A lot of who you are is because of the great things your dad did for you.  I know that everything you continue to do in your life will make him so proud as he watches over you.  I understand that this is a very difficult time for you and the class and I are thinking of you.  We talked about how you must be feeling right now and are ready to support you however we can when you come back to school.  I know some days will be better than others, so don't be afraid to let me know how you're feeling and we will help to comfort you as best as we can.  I have a great big hug waiting for you when I see you.
Mr. Saurer


Connor,
I know we don't know each other very well, but I do know that we see each other often in school.  You're a wonderful boy, always patient and making good choices when I see you.  I'm very sorry to hear about your dad.  He was an amazing person who did so many great things.  I'm sure you already miss him a lot.  I know that this may not make how you feel any better, but I know that your dad will still be there for you, watching over you to make sure you stay safe and strong.  I'm thinking of you and know Mrs. Swords and your classmates are too.
Mr. Saurer

Kim, Connor and Christian, 

Your husband and father was a good man and I know he loved and still loves you all very much. I am in pain over this loss. Sean introduced himself to me when we were in Middle School.  He would invite me to take a walk and talk with him during recess on the playground when we were about 12 years old. I was shy and it was a new school for me and I felt alone. Sean was so outgoing and caring that he saw that I was alone and became my friend. He helped me to feel better and to learn how to reach out to others and be a friend. We talked only a few short weeks ago because my mom passed away in October. I enjoyed our talk and he called me because he wanted to know how I was doing.  I will miss him.

I enjoyed his laugh, his sense of humor and he made Middle and High School so much more enjoyable because of who he was.  He was much smarter than I was and he helped me get through Calculus. He would look at the equation and come up with the answer in a few minutes.  As I struggled to figure it all out, he said, "Stop trying to figure out why it works. It just does. Plug in the numbers and move on to the next one."

As I cry with all of you, his words still help me today.  I cannot understand why this has all happened to all of you, but I know it will somehow work out in the end.  He is right now in the presence of Our Savior where my mom is and they are waiting for us. He is very much alive and we will see him again.

I will pray for strength for the hard journey ahead. Connor and Christian: Your dad was very proud of you both and he always told me how good you both are.  He always wanted to be a dad and he was so happy that you are his sons. You have a lot of people who care about you very much. He was like a brother that I never had. 

I am sorry I cannot be there during this time, but we will be remembering all of you in our thoughts and prayers from Texas.

God bless,

Matt Hebbard

Kim, Connor, and Christian,

How wonderfully blessed you were to have such a wonderful man in your lives.  The dedication and spirit he showed to the boys of Pack 93 must have been just a fraction of the love he had for his family. We know you will miss him terribly as will all the Cub Scouts.  It was a truly an honor to have such a brilliant man touch our son Sean's life.  He will be missed.

Our deepest condolences,
The Killian Family
Pat, Nicole, and Sean

We are so deeply saddened by your loss.  Although we only had the privilege of knowing Sean for a short time, we knew him long enough to understand what a special and unique person he is.  The entire community will stand a little darker without him.  We are thinking of you all constantly.

Ted, Windley, Trip, Thomas, and Ellie Walden

Dear Strine Family of All Generations,
 
We are so very sorry to learn about your tragic loss of Sean. From the early years of our overseas trips when we often spoke often about the activities  of our then young children, the exemplary  accomplishments and warm personality of Sean stood out from  the rest. He was a great accomplishment himself, the product of wonderful home. At this extremely sad time, we hope that Maryann, Harry, and Neil will all take some comfort in that knowledge. To Kimberly and children, many of us in Bloomsburg, especially those from our trips, will help in any way we can if you need us. Your family  has always been our family,too.

God Bless You.                                       
Jan and Floyd

This morning when I read the paper, I was shocked and so terribly saddened to read of Sean's death.  I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through.  I still remember Sean as a high school student.  Kimberly and Sean always competing to see who could get the highest grade on a math test.  It was the only subject in which she could compete with him.  What a loss to the world and your family.  My deepest, most heartfelt sympathy.

All of us in marketing were lucky to have an opportunity to work with Sean.  He was smart but not arrogant, he compromised but had a backbone when needed, he was a teacher but was always patient, and he was always a collaborator for the greater good.  Everyone enjoyed working with Sean.  His dedication to improving our business and passion for helping others is his legacy.  We will miss Sean as a colleague and a friend.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Kim, Connor, and Christian,

We were so saddened to learn of Sean's passing.  In the past few years of cub scouting he was a great leader and inspiration to Zachary, and Dan and I enjoyed the time spent with him at all cub scout functions and chatting at baseball games. I will never forget him offering to take responsibility for Zachary at Camp Mack when Dan injured his arm and was not able to go.  He was proof that there are still good guys out there and God took one of the best when he took him.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

With heartfelt sympathy,
Dan, Diane and Zachary Kridler

   I wanted to let you know how very sorry I am to hear about Sean. I cannot imagine how difficult this time is for you and your sons.   You are all in my thoughts and prayers. 

Rachelle Berquist Poth

Dear Kim,

Although we don't know each other well and I'd never met your husband, I see you and your family at school activities, athletic competitions, and living life around town.  We have children in the same classes and activities, we're the same age and now living in the same neighborhood so I feel like I know you much better than I do.  Because of this my heart aches for you and your boys.  MacGregor's heart is breaking too and he wants so badly to be able to take some of the pain away from his friend Christian but doesn't know how.  I'm not sure any of us can take that pain away or fill that completely empty space inside you right now, but I do hope that you know that there are many people out there praying for your comfort and willing to support you in any way  you need.  May God be with you at this very difficult time.

Sincerely,
Brittney, Henrichsen  (and MacGregor and Ainsley too)

Kim, Christian & Connor -

Words cannot express my heart-felt sympathy.  

I was triply blessed to have known Sean as a co-worker at Armstrong, as a church member at St. Peters, and as a fellow blue band alumnus.  I am proud and honored to have shared his friendship over the past several years.

To say I am shocked would be a gross understatement; I'm certain you are numbed as well.

Please accept my condolences.  I sincerely regret that I have previous commitments to be in New York with family this weekend and will be unable to attend the funeral.

May God bless and be with each of you in this time of sorrow.
Terry Roof.

Kim, Christian, and Conner,

Kim, Christian, and Connor--

My family and I are saddened beyond words about Sean's passing.  He was much loved by all of us and will be missed so very much.  He was one of my oldest and closest friends and has played a central role in my life for 24 years.  It has left me with an emptiness that I have never felt before.  But, when I think of you, the boys, and all the times we shared together -- and will share -- I know that our memory of him will live on, and I am sustained by that.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sean was a wonderful person, and we are blessed to have known both of you for the past 20 years. His passing has left a gaping hole in our Penn State family.

We will always remember Sean for being the life of the party, but more importantly we will remember Sean as a devoted and loving father and husband.

We are so thankful for the opportunity to have met and shared time with Sean.  What a wonderfully genuine man.  Thank you Sean for your dedication with the boys at Cub Scouts.  You have truly enriched the lives of so many boys, including our son.  For that we are forever grateful. 

May God provide your family the strength to cope with the pain and loss of a truly special husband and father.  He will be missed, but never forgotten.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys.  If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to call.

Blessings,
David Adams

Kim, Christian, and Connor,

Where to begin about Sean?  I first met him at his home during one of the many birthday parties had for Neil while we were growing up.  Neil was in the same class as my brothers and me in elementary school.  As the years went by from childhood through to adulthood, Sean always made life at each level more fun when he was around.  I was just telling Marty that I don't recall a time when I saw him when he was not smiling and having a good time - the life of the party.  He was just fun to be around.  I've also known a lot of nice people and have many good friends, but I can honestly say that I've never met anyone nicer.  He was always thoughtful and asked about us before talking about himself.  I remember one time in particular:  During high school, I decided to get a flat-top haircut like Sean and Matt Hebbard had.  Although it was quite a shock to me and I recall a few negative comments, Sean went out of his way to say how good it looked (even though I'm not sure even he believed it).  That's just the way he was.  He approached life with a fearless optimism.  I remember camping at the cabin, hiking across hot civil war battlefields, hanging out at a Penn State game, and attending his wedding.  Each event is another memory I will carry with me.  And he doted on his children in a way that showed how much they meant to him.

The last time I saw him was at Carl's 40th birthday party in March.  Although we only spoke for a few minutes in total, no one was more fun to be around or told funnier stories, or was having more fun himself.

Christian and Connor, I hope that someday you are able to take all of these memories of your Dad to give you comfort and to know that he loved you so very much.  Kim, our prayers are with you.  Life sure seems unfair at times, but it would have been a whole lot darker place without people like Sean in it in the first place.  God bless you.

Sorry we couldn't be there in person.
Josh, Marty and Caroline Harvey (Okinawa, Japan)

I had the pleasure of working with Sean and enjoyed his positive enthusiasm and his continuous desire to make improvements at Armstrong.  My thoughts and prayers are with Sean's family.

Erica Kemp 

We were shocked to hear about Sean.  All of us in the Pointer family extend our condolences.

Dear Kim and family,
I may be far from Pennsylvania right now, but your loss has touched me deeply. Sean sounded like an outstanding husband and father. I really wish I could have known him.

You are in my thoughts.
Rama Botlagudur Eriksson

Kim,
When I heard the news of Sean's passing my heart ached for you and your boys. Although time has passed and we have been out of touch for some time, the memories of you and Sean are some of my fondest from PSU. Being able to know you two separately, then as a couple was a true privilege to watch...you two are truly soulmates. I cannot try to comprehend the pain of loss you are feeling right now and as a parent to fathom how your boys are going to cope without their father seems unbearable but know that as time passes things will become easier and you have a huge support system around you that will help you through your darkest moments. Sean was one of a kind, a man with the intelligence of a genius, the humor of a comedian and more importantly had the love in his heart for you and your boys that was beyond words.
My deepest sympathies go out to you, your children and your entire family.

Kim,
We are heartbroken over your loss. We will miss talking to Sean and we will miss his friendship.  Sean was such a kind man to the boys in cub scouts and  Patrick and Ryan are sad and will miss him.   God has secured another angel. Please remember that you and the boys are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope to be there for you if and when you need us. 

Beth and Jim McGlynn

Dear Kim, Christian and Connor,  Our deepest sympathies go out to you.  Although we only knew Sean for such a short time through Pack 93, he made quite an impression on our family.  We are new to the area, and had heard what an incredible leader and role model Sean Strine was. We couldn't agree more.  He went out of his way to make us feel welcome and included. We feel privileged to have known him.  Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. 

Sincerely,
Mark, Tammy, Mitchell and Graham Calhoun

Kim, Connor and Christian,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the extended families. Sean was a great guy and a good friend, always laughing and most importantly, making others laugh! I will always remember him full of life. He will be missed.

Words can not express the sadness we feel for you and the whole Penn State family.  Sean will be truly missed.  We have great memories of him that will always make us smile and laugh.  Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with you and the boys.   

Dave, Hindi, Ashley, & Ethan Burkett

Kim, Christian and Connor,

We would like to extend our condolences to you.  In the short time we knew your family, we saw Sean as a really great Dad and loving husband.  We know that he will really be missed. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. 

Barb and Jim Perry 

Dear Kim, Connor and Christian,
We were all so saddened to hear of the loss of Sean. He has touched so many lives, in so many different ways. For us, it was our children. We knew Sean through Pack 93 and at the Cub Scout Den meetings. He had so many admirable qualities. He was always so well prepared, and committed in anything he did. At the Camporama this past October, Sean was always so patient, helpful and attentive with his sons, as well as to all the scouts, parents and their siblings. He will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

To Kim,

I have never met you.  I'm a member at the Rec Center and heard of what happened on Tuesday night.  I have not been able to get you all out of my mind and heart.  Even as I type this, I am overwhelmed with emotion for you and your sons.  I simply cannot imagine the heartache.

It is clear that you are surrounded with much love and faith, which will be what sustains you on this dark journey.  Please know that, though I am a complete stranger, I have been praying for you from the moment I heard what happened on Tuesday night.  I wake up in the night and pray.  I wake in the morning and pray.  Throughout the day your family comes to my mind, and I pray.  God has placed such a burden on my heart for your family this week.

Maybe it is because I lost my father when I was young.  I saw what my mom went through. It's certainly not supposed to be this way.  If I could offer any encouragement, it would be this ... children really ARE resilient.  Your boys, though they will be forever different due to this experience, they WILL be okay.  In fact, I know that for my sister and myself, we because stronger because of the trials we faced while young.  They will go on to be wonderful, successful, kind, and generous people ... just like their father clearly was. 

I would say to take it "one day at a time," but I am painfully aware that sometimes that seems like too much.  One moment ... one breath ... at a time.

May God's presence be more real to you than ever before.

"He defends the cause of the fatherless and widows ..."  (Deut 10:18a)

Blessings,
Shannon P.

To the Strine family,

It's been a long time since summer camp, backpacking, and canoe trips with Harry, Neil, and Sean, and I still remember them fondly. It seems that Sean carried himself throughout his life the way I remember him from 20+ years ago. If his sons grow up to be like the guy I remember and the man I have been reading about, they will be very well off in life.

I pray that God will give you strength, comfort, and peace.
Bruce & Sandi Stoker

Kim, Connor and Christian,

We are very sad to hear of Sean's unexpected passing.  It was a shock and I cannot imagine how you are feeling.  I hope the boys know that Sean was well liked and was a natural leader.  We will all miss him.  Please know we are all thinking of you and you are in our prayers.

Kim -
We at Armstrong are all so saddened by this loss.  I am thinking of you and the boys.

Kim, Connor, Christian and family,

I was deeply upset to hear that Sean died.  I worked with him at Armstrong for many years and he was a great friend.  He was one of a kind and everyone will miss his fun loving personality and uniuqe charm.  Like many others, I am a better person having known Sean.  Connor and Christian, please know that your Dad was one of the best and you would do well to grow up and be just like him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 

May God bless you all in this difficult time and may God bless Sean.

Jeffrey M. Farabaugh & Family

Kim, Connor and Christian,

We had the pleasure of knowing Sean through cub scouts.  He was very patient and helpful with Jason and I as we prepared for our first den meeting. He was extremely giving of his time to Pack 93 and he will be greatly missed.  I have read all the kind words that people have written here as well as on facebook.  The world has lost a truly great man. All of you will be in our thoughts everyday and we will be here if you ever need anything.

Jason, Stacey, Alex and Ben Edis

Dear Kim,
We are so very sorry for your loss.  We enjoyed getting to know you, Sean and the boys on the camping trip this summer. 

We pray that happy memories, the love of family and friends and God's grace will help you and the boys through this difficult time and beyond.

Kim, Connor, Christian and family,
Words cannot express our deepest sympathies for all you right now. Please know that Sean will always be remembered as a very giving and special person. Nick will always hold dear the big smile Sean gave him as he handed him his award at Boy Scouts. Our prayers are with all of you now.
Gary, Deb, Amanda and Nick Feddock

Dear Strine Family,
Words cannot express how shocked and saddened I am to hear of Seans passing.  I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sean at Armstrong. He was extremely professional, bright, and always asked great, tough questions.  He had a quiet, calm, approachable way about him and always saw the best in everyone.  I learned a lot from Sean! He talked frequently about his family and clearly loved you all SO much!  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Very Sincerely,
Laurie Israel-Cubell

Our deepest condolences ! Sean was a wonderful person, who as a scout master was dedicated to make a positive impact in life of many boys including our son. We will miss him a lot. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Kim, Christian, and Conner,

We are so saddened by your loss.  Know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers and there is so much love that surrounds you.  We are here for you.

We can hardly find the words to express our sorrow at such a loss.  We pray that the support of your family and friends and your wonderful memories of Sean can help you during the days ahead.
We will keep your family in our prayers and thoughts.
Bob and Barbara Sorg

We at Cub Scout Pack #4 of Lancaster City wish to express our deepest sympathies to the family of Sean Strine.  He had a great impact on the lives of many young boys in his role of cubmaster.  All of us in Scouting share your loss.
In Scouting,
Christine Yost, Cubmaster

I had to write something. Sean was a great person and had an incredible spirit.  During his time in the Blue Band, Sean was never too busy or focused on playing his sax to wish two nervous Feature Twirlers - Lori (Branley) Fisher and myself good luck before taking the field for pregame or halftime.

He will be so missed.  My prayers and warm thoughts for God's Graces to the Strine Family.

Always for the Glory,
John Mitchell

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Frank, Ioulia, David and Alexander Lee

Dear Kim,
Please accept my condolences and sympathies on the unexpected passing of Sean. As you and your family deal with this difficult time, you should know Sean was a valuable contributor to Armstrong's ceilings business.  Over the last 5 years he made significant contributions to all of Armstrong's Plants. Sean was truly valued by everyone he worked with in ABP.  He will be greatly missed.  Please let me know if there is anything I or the company can do for you.  My prayers are with you and your family.
       Sincerely,
       Matt Cook

May you find peace during this time of transition. I went to high school with Sean and although many years have passed and I have not known him since then in detail, I wish to send my deepest sympathies and support for healing to you and your family as I know you have lost a very outstanding person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Respectfully,
Kate Bazis

Kim, Connor, and Christian,

My deepest sympathies to you and your families. I  trust that your faith will serve you well during these difficult times.

Neil Snyder

Kim,

My sincerest heartfelt condolences.  Sean was always the life of the party and will be sorely missed.  It's impossible to think back to our time in the Blue Band and not think of Sean's energy and the joy he brought to the entire band.  May God bless you and keep you and provide the love and guidance needed in raising your two wonderful sons.

Matt ("Buick") Kozsuch

Kim, Christian, and Connor--

We just returned from vacation and read the unbelievable news of Sean's passing.  We are brokenhearted for you and can only imagine what a sad, difficult time this is.  We never really had the opportunity to get to know Sean but after reading all the condolences, it's clear that we missed out on knowing a smart, talented, caring, wonderful man.  It is no wonder that God wanted to be with him in Heaven.

I'm sorry we were unable to be there to support you on Saturday, but please know that if there's anything we can do to help you in these coming months, we'll be there for you.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.

With love and sympathy,
The Courtois Family

Kim, Christian and Connor -
Please know that you and all of Sean's family are in our constant thoughts and prayers.  We did not know Sean well, but we have a respect and admiration for the kind of man he was by seeing the love that he shared with his family, his church and his community. 

The Beauregard family

Mary Ann, I was so saddened to hear of the death of your son.  This is certainly every parents worst nightmare.  They are to bury us, not the other way around.  I am so sorry for your sorrow. 

Wanda Steffen Cattalo

Although I have never met you, I truly can feel your pain.  Our son, at age 34, died almost two years ago of a sudden heart attack, leaving behind a wife and two small children.  There are no words, there is no map, that can lead you. There are, however, a few moments of comfort during this time.  I was comforted by my grandchildren, carrying a legacy of love into their future.  I was comforted by the fact that, however short, my son was able to live a rich and rewarding life.  In the still moments, after some time has passed, you will feel his spirit guide and comfort you, and you will know how very lucky you were to have been part of his life.   

Mary Shreiner

Kim, Connor and Christian,
I am very saddened to hear of the loss of such a dynamic and caring man as Sean.  I as well as many others leaving their condolences went to secondary school with Sean.  The words that describe the friendship we had with him at that time, dwarf the feelings of those which you have of a husband, father and friend.  Sean was always a sharp, good humored and hearted person during our school years.  At an age when most people are figuring out who they are and what they desire to do in life, Sean seemed to always know.  Much of that certainty came from the wonderful family he had growing up, who provided the same love and support that Sean has shown to his own family.  There was not never a time while knowing Sean, that he waivered from his beliefs of right and wrong.  These qualities as well as the love he has for you, are what I hope will be the source of current and future strength for all that are mourning the loss of such a great man.  The greater source of strength for all who are grieving the loss of such a great friend comes in knowing that the spirit of our beloved friend is in the company of our Lord.  There is great peace and strength in knowing that.

Nick Telesky

Kim, you and your boys have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be as time passes.  I feel lucky to have known Sean, to have laughed at his jokes, to have been considered his friend.  He was one of a kind.  If there's anything that I can do for you or Christian or Conner from afar, please let me know.
