Homer Shields III

What a loss to everyone who ever knew Homer. If you met him, You remembered. My thoughts will be with the Shields family. From a fellow SAC slugger.

Oh my goodness. I was just doing a facebook search for Homer. He was our best man in our wedding. I am in total shock. I do not know how I will be able to tell my husband about Homer. I am just so sad...he was an amazing person and he and my husband played ball at SAU side by side(Shawn played shortstop). I am so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers.

Tina, when I was home last weekend my Mom showed me the article about your husband. Just wanted to extend my sympathy. After reading the article, I realized that you live in Toledo. I'm in Maumee...if you need an ear, give me a call. I know I haven't talked to you in ages, but what's a little time. Take care...Pam (Borgia) Armstrong

I just heard about Homer's passing. I was shocked and speechless. Homer was a good friend of mine at Spring Arbor. He was and will always be a very special man to me and we had a lot of great times together. I am so very sorry for your loss. The entire Sheilds family is in my prayers.

TINA SORRY TO HERE ABOUT YOUR LOST...MY HEART GOES OUT 2 YOUR FAMILY

I was traveling with my family this past week, when one of my former teammates called and informed me of Homer’s passing. Needless to say, I was shocked. Homer was larger than life and seemed invincible as I played with him at SAU. Homer was a great teammate and friend. I have many great memories of our time at SAU both on and off of the field.

As a teammate at SAU, Homer could always be counted on to perform in the clutch. As I have read some of the previous entries, it is...

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

To the entire Shields family,
Homer and I had a special bond during my years playing baseball at Spring Arbor and I was always amazed by the things he could do on a baseball field. Maybe even more amazing, however, was the strength of his character and the depth of his convictions. He is the best 3B I've ever played with (including the pros) and one of the finest people I've ever known. There is a hole in Cougar Baseball that will never be repaired. RIP #7 - you will be missed. ...

Tina,
What can I say?!?! I still refuse to believe. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. Please accept my
deepest, deepest condolences. My heart is so sad for you and your boys. I guess "Homie" and Marty can now "talk"
sports. Another angel has been added.
