Jerry Shea was one of my favorite bankers when I covered banking for the News Journal back in the 1980's. He was a very special man.

I remember Mr Shea from my Father Thomas Conley who worked with him at the Bank of Delaware. Such a nice man and his family. God bless him and the family.

I can't comment on Mr. Shea without reflecting on Mrs. Shea and the entire Shea family. The Shea's were and are a beautiful family. My childhood couldn't have been better. I was lucky to be raised by the Greatest Generation, and I was lucky and blessed that Mr. & Mrs. Shea were part of it. I always felt at home in their home. Mr. Shea was a gentleman, a scholar, an accomplished professional and a teacher and friend to me. My life was shaped and made better by him. I am forever grateful to...

We first met Mr. Shea in late 1982 when my wife and I I purchased a home one door down from the Sheas in Buckingham Heights. Although we were very young for the community Jerry was the first person to warmly welcome us to the neighborhood. Some years later when I wanted to start a civic association, Jerry was one of the first individuals to step forward to assist. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Our prayers go out to your family.

Mr. Shea was an inspiration to me in my early career. His caring and motivating demeanor were just some of his valuable assets that helped lead Bank of Delaware to a formidable banking powerhouse. I was very fortunate to be around a steady and optimistic individual. I send my condolences to the family.
