In Memory – Tom Sheehan
March 11, 1957 – April 20, 2023
This year’s Plain Press Community Guide offers a tribute to Tom Sheehan and his role in building the advertising support that sustained the Plain Press Community Guide over the years.
As an advertising salesperson for the Plain Press, Tom started out selling ads for the Plain Press Community Guide sometime in the early 1990s. The ads were sold only to nonprofit organizations and Tom built up contacts throughout the community.
In time, Tom had many organizations and government agencies supporting the Community Guide which he built into an annual project that produced revenue that helped sustain the Plain Press.
By the end of 1990s Tom Sheehan was the sole advertising salesperson for the Plain Press. His outgoing personality and persistent follow-up with advertisers supported the newspaper financially for many years when advertising revenue was the newspaper’s sole source of revenue.
