My sincere condolences on Shank's passing. It was just two weeks ago that I spoke with Shank at Wingate. As a 1958 graduate of HHS, I know all of our classmates will surely miss him. My prayers are with your family.

I was saddened to hear of Shank's death. My dad's life was so greatly influenced by Shank; thus, so was my family's. Many laughs took place between the Bejian and the Paradis clan! May Shank rest in peace and may all the memories heal your heart!

I am so saddened to hear of Sheldon's passing. I have wonderful childhood memories of him as we went to Crowell School and Haverhill High together. We lost contact after graduation and I don't know his family but I shall keep all of you in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

Please accept my condolences. When our Heavenly Father closes one door another is opened. Life is eternal and you will be with him again. I remember Sheldon very well. I moved from Haverhill in 1959 so I am not up on all the events of Haverhill.
Condolences again to you and your family.

My sincerest sympathy to the family of "Shank." We were alumni of HHS Class of 1958. Shank was always a kind "teddy bear," who always had a smile on his face and was a born comedian. I remember him fondly. He and his family will be in my prayers.
