Hard to believe it's been 9 years, seems just like it was yesterday. Always in our hearts and missed every day.

Lots of fond memories of the Water St. Neighborhood. Mr. Shea always had a smile on his face no matter what we were up to. And that smile was there whenever our paths crossed in the later years, be it at church or on the street. My sympathy to you all. You are in my thoughts & prayers. God speed, Mr. Shea.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I had Mr Shea all through school and enjoyed visiting with him at the shop when I was home for a visit.
