Not sure what to say?

Dr. Shea was used by God to restore my hearing by taking bone from behind my ear and making a new ear drum that had been destroyed by doctors when I was little, puncturing the ear drum trying to get it to drain. I didn't know at the time that I was a walking time bomb, as he told my husband after the surgery was finished that the infection had set in and was eating away so fast that it was only a millimeter from my brain and that if it had gone through to the brain I would have just dropped...

Dr. Shea was a wonderful doctor for my daughter and for me. By knowing about a simple maneuver, he cured my daughter of debilitating dizzy spells. He also cured me of an ear infection, which could not be cleared up with antibiotics. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Shea. I am trying to remember, did Dr. Shea come up with a way to do surgery on the pituitary gland through the mouth or do I have him confused with someone else?

Prayerful condolences to the family of Dr Shea. I´m an Otolaryngologist myself, and Coyle operated both of my ears for perilymphatic fistula in the early 70´s. Words fail to convey how skilled, compassionate and humble he was. Some people seem to live their life on a higher plane, and he certainly did...RIP Coyle.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Dear Trina, What an amazing husband you had! You were a loving caregiver and should be so proud. Love Barbara Brunini

I met him with fear and trepidation but he immediately put all at ease. His interest was in making us have a successful mission experience. Loved hearing all of his stories He was an amazing man serving our amazing God. Always the most humble man ever

Coyle was such a sweet man, so warm and genuine. Thank you, Trina, for bringing him into my life.
