Michael J. Shields

It's 8 years Mike, time is flying by. We are still missing your presence , your laughter, your incredibly funny stories. Diana still cries when we talk about you, she just lost her Mom. Bill is a grandfather now to a baby named Ethan. We miss you Mike, why do good people go and bad ones remain? You are still in our hearts and minds, never to be forgotten! We love you our heavenly friend. Bill and Pat

It´s been 7 long years since we have seen you in your earthly presence. Yes life goes on , yes we are doing the things we do every day, week and year. We still miss you, we have our memories and yet there is the "I miss you feeling" when we think of you Mike . Joe Hesson has recently joined you in your heavenly home and others will be there with you too . Our time on earth is short compared to your time in heaven, we will love our precious memories of you, until we meet again, bye for now my...

Its been 5 years Mike since we have seen you . We still miss your smiling face and your funny stories. I miss you coming over and having a fun day at Bills Steak on the Lake get together! We enjoyed watching you have fun in the lake and you drinking your jungle juice. The good memories will always be with us. Love you always Mike, Bill and Pat

Its been 4 years since Bill and I heard your voice and saw your face, we miss you everyday. Life is not fair sometimes and we shouldnt have to lose our good friends. I hope your at peace, feeling the love of our Heavenly Father. We will meet again Mike and you will be there to welcome us , until then we will continue to miss your wonderful friendship Pat and Bill Lake

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Michael .. What a great guy with a great smile and humongous personality. My heart goes out to his family and friends, he will be surely missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you

My thoughts and prayers are with EVERYONE who knew my cousin! As a little boy I idolized Michael. I can remember following Archbishop Ryan( new school) basketball and asking my Dad about results and box scores. Big Wally said he played and helped Ryan win-I was thrilled. My fondest memories were in Ocean City when Aunt Betty and Uncle Joe would arrive with my cousins ( Tommy,Michael,Jody,Stevie,Joanne,and John-John)for a week!!!The best of times and Michael was amazing. No airs about him just...

From playing baseball in the S.Y.O., cheese steaks at Daddies, beers at the B.I., and those great farmhouse parties, Mike always seemed to make these better than they were with his great sense of humor and that infectious smile. It was impossible to be down with Molt around. We all grow up and go our separate ways, friendships fade but the memories live on. We are all better people to have had you in our lives. You will be greatly missed. Until we meet again Molt

Mike was high school teammate in basketball and baseball at Ryan. When you first met Mike, he had the look of the toughest guy in the room. He was so cool,it was scary.I was 16 and Mike seemed like he was 25.He always seemed way ahead of the rest of us.He turned out to be the nicest guy in the room and taught you the ropes like a big brother.Completely without pretense, everyone loved Mike and rightfully so. He had always had time for everyone,a tremendous sense of humor, and a ready smile....
