Mary and family,

Sandy and I are devastated at Mike´s passing. We know it was expected but it´s still difficult. We were lucky to have had dinner together at Wyndemere late last year and we thought he looked great. We will miss Mike´s smile and friendship. Our love and sympathies to the entire family.

Mary, Judy Keefe advised us of Mike's passing. Mary, our thoughts are with you. Another good man has left us. Michael and Judy Keefe shared their good friends with us. Mike was certainly one of Michael's best friends. Mary and I have enjoyed socializing with you and Mike for close to 40 years. We will miss his friendship. Incidentally, that is a very nice picture of Mike in his obit. A good way of remembering him. We wish you strength, Mary, during these difficult times and hope to see you soon to give you a warm hug.

My sincere condolences Mary Colleen
and family. It has been many years since we have been in touch regrettably; but I very much enjoyed all the fun times we had both during our university days and as young married friends. Mike was always the life and energy of the fun times. His wit and humor will be remembered with great fondness.
Best wishes in these trying times to you and your family.

Mary Colleen & Family. I´ve been praying for you and Mike ever since I heard the news about his illness. I know this must seem cliché at the time but we both know that he´s in a better place & his suffering is over at last. Take comfort in your memories but with each passing day you´ll be one day closer to being reunited with Mike again.

Over the last 52 years, Mike showed me what integrity was all about, he showed me what character was all about, he showed me what honesty is all about, he showed me what generosity was all about and he showed me what true friendship was all about. He showed me how to laugh at myself and to care for those less fortunate. I have become a better person because of my long friendship with Michael Edward Shea. Sadly missed, fondly remembered, never forgotten.

People find it strange that Mike had such good friends from high school days at Neil McNeil HS but once a friend to Mike, you were on the team forever! Mike has gone to meet his buddies, Ron Waksdale and Michael Keefe. Raise a beer to best friends!

Michael will be fondly remembered. He initiated the Bobby Baun Fan Club with John Elmer during our high school years. We only had 3 members. Mike convinced Bobby Baun and Ed Chadwick to come to his house to show us Stanley Cup films. Mike's organization of Stanley Cup Pools were classic. Great memories.
