Longtime communications and advertising professional Gene Sheehan, who worked for public relations firm Sullivan & LeShane for 30 years, died Wednesday at the age of 78.

Sheehan began working for a newly-minted Sullivan & LeShane in Hartford in 1989 as president of public relations, after the company was founded in 1986 by Paddi LeShane and Patrick Sullivan.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our former partner, Gene,” CEO Paddi LeShane said in a statement. “His infectious energy and enthusiasm for every day, every challenge and every project we worked on together are memories we will cherish forever.”
