Charles William "Charlie" Shea

Mark, Maureen and family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. Sending prayers.

To Maureen and her family I'm very sorry for your loss.

Dear Members of the Shea Family, My first memory of Charlie was as the owner of Shea's Office Products. First as a student, then as a teacher, I was always delighted to peruse the aisles of his store filled with all the items I needed. Then, many many years later for the both of us, I became reacquainted as a parishioner of St. Clare Church in Misquamicut where Charlie and Joan would join us for coffee and goodies after mass on Wednesdays.

Dear Mark and the Shea family, our sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved father. May God be pleased with his life. Gary and Rhonda Blanchet

Shea's used to sell musical instruments( among other things) before they went into office products. Charlie Shea sold me my first harmonica. It was a Hohner Marine Band and it cost $1.00! The same item today costs anywhere from 35 to 50 dollars. I went on to love playing harmonica and learning about and playing Blues music. That interest continues today, into my 70s. Thank you Mr. Charlie Shea! Little things mean a lot.
