James J. Sheeran

I didn´t know him - well, he never knew me. But his book was one of the best I´ve ever read!

A wonderful man with a very exciting life ... RIP, Commissioner

I was saddened to hear of Mr. Sheeran's death. I was 6 years old when I last saw him. I was helping my Dad, Captain Joseph J. Hanaway (West Orange Fire Department) , distribute pot holders with Mr. Sheeran's face pictured on it for candidacy for mayor of our town. My Dad, a WWII veteran too, were men of character, integrity, and valor. My prayers for the repose of Mr. Sheeran's soul and consolation for his family. God love him! Father Kevin P. Hanaway

Thank you to James Sheeran ( I just finish reading his book) and each and everyone who fought to free my country.

I have studied WWII, traveled throughout Normandy and through Champagne where my own grandfather fought in WWI, and where Mr...

Know that you are in my prayers during your difficult time. Commissioner Sheeran was an excellent example of a public servant. He was also a great hockey fan. May the good times that you had with him bring you peace.

I was so very blessed to have known Mr. Sheeran. His presence lit up a room like no other. He was a man of great conviction and he was fiercly proud of his family. I have not seen him for many years, but still can hear his laugh and him calling for "Lena" around the office. It always made my day to see him. I know he will be greatly missed and my thoughts are with you all. My memories of him will always be treasured. I am immensely proud to have been in the employ and acquiantance of...

Dear Family: Jim's father, Jack, introduced my father to my mother, Raymonde Duviol whom he had met in France after the WW1 armistice was signed. My mother and Lucy Sheeran, both being French, became good friends here in the USA. Our family from East Orange, would visit the Sheeran family in West Orange when Jim and his siblings were of grammar school age. An uncle of mine who was a priest in a Jersey City parish organized a clothing and food drive for Jim's cause of providing for the...
