Carroll Joseph "Snooky" Shea

Snooky was the best and always positive when I encountered him. Great family man, his Mom Janet was the best, and he always had something interesting to say. He was so committed to the Wakefield Heritage Commission and the Village of Union. I was unaware of his illness and passing until a few weeks ago. Forever grateful to have gotten to know him. My condolences to Sue and the family.

Sue, and all the family, I am saddened to hear about Snookie. Did not know he had been sick so long; surely it was last spring when I had a great chat with him, about skiing, of all things? So sorry to hear this just now. Snookie and his family represent the warmth of the Union community, just as Janet and Caddie did. The family will carry on just that legacy.

Snooky comforted a very scared new mom with a week old infant. Everyone told me I must nurse my baby but I didn’t want to. Snooky arrived to put in our kitchen floor and there I sat sobbing. Long story short, my baby wasn’t nursing, I was so scared he would die and had no idea what to do. Snooky asked what the hospital had sent home with me.

My name is Diane Briggs Cloutier. I graduated from Nute in 1971. I grew up in Union. Even though I was younger than Snooky, I always admired him for his beautiful smile and his positive energy.
Today for some strange reason, I remembered how much fun I had skating behind his family's house during the cold days in winter. I will never forget the colorful lights strung over the ice. I remember Snooky was always there helping his parents. We were invited later to go inside and Janet...

It is so hard to lose someone you love, especially when that person is so wonderful as Snooky, Even though I didn't see him very often I am so sad to hear about your lost.
Snooky was one of my favorite classmates. I remember going to Junior Prom with Snooky so many years ago. He drove a cute little Metropolitan. It is a nice memory for me! Hopefully your memories will comfort you.

So very sorry to hear of Snookyd death. I did not know. We are very sorry. May he rest in peace

I'm so sorry Sue.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Sue, Mike, Kelly, Sally, Gary and family, Janet and I were saddened to hear that Snooky had passed and wanted to share our deepest condolences with you. We admired his many talents and passions, his vivid stories from the past of days gone by, and his pride of family which included all of you! His fine craftsmanship in the many floors he refinished will serve as a reminder of the professional man he was. Such a strong work ethic! In his later years, his work was a "two man" process...
