Town of Hollis 2021-2022 Annual Report Dedication

John Daniel Sheahan (1945-2022) It is with great honor and pride that the Hollis Select Board dedicate this year’s Annual Report to resident John Daniel Sheahan. Since retiring to Hollis after a very successful professional career in public relations, communications, television and film production, John became actively involved with our community. John found much joy giving back to the Town of Hollis by serving as board chair of the Hollis Center Public Library, chair of the New Municipal Town Complex Committee, and as a member of the Indian Cellar Preservation Committee and Conservation Commission. John is best remembered for his ability to tell stories with a dramatic flair. He enjoyed a good laugh and a good debate with equal measure. John was also a wonderful listener and would set aside whatever he was doing to help anyone at any time, whether it be a friend or a stranger. Passionate in his pursuit of improving the Town and moving projects forward to support the growth of the community, John remained up beat and resilient with investigating alternatives for issues brought forward by our residents. John was never willing to take “no” for an answer, rather looking at the ‘what ifs’ and ‘how abouts?’
