Sean Alexander Ladick

Sean Alexander Ladick Sean Alexander Ladick, beloved son of Sue Graham Wilding of Silver Creek, New York and Wayne A. Ladick of Springfield, Maine, was freed from the restraints of ALS on August 30, 2010, after a valiant two year battle. Sean grew up in Franklin, PA, where he attended local schools, and later spent a large part of his life in Colorado before moving to Atlanta, Georgia, where he has resided with his partner, Deidra Lynn Currie and his devoted dog, Wolfgang. Sean was an avid outdoorsman and environmentalist, and he enjoyed the solitude he found in the mountains by biking and camping. Sean's childlike love of life was infectious. He loved the arts and music. He found the greatest solace throughout his life by playing his guitar and composing music. Sean enjoyed playing with other artists in local venues. He worked as a homeopathic pharmaceutical consultant with Whole Foods prior to his illness. In addition to his parents, Sean is survived by his grandmother, Doris M. Seyler, of 172 Miller Road, Franklin; his brother, Zachary M. Nick, of Franklin; his stepfather, Bruce Wilding; his stepmother, Caron Ladick, and several uncles, aunts and cousins. He is also survived by his nephew and niece, Zach and Zoey Nick. Sean was preceded in death by his grandfather, Richard L. Graham; and his grandparents, John and Elenor Ladick; and his uncle, Robert Wayne Graham. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that anyone wishing to honor Sean's memory can do so by making a contribution to Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation for the arts (www.Mr.Holland'sOpusFoundation) to afford under-privileged children the opportunity to learn the mastery of music. A celebration of Sean's life will be arranged at a later date for his many friends and family. The Gardinier Funeral Home Inc., 1315 Chestnut Street, Franklin, is handling arrangements.
