Not sure what to say?

Hard to believe it's been 14 years since we saw his smile, garnered his wisdom, laughed at his jokes, and basked in his compassion. But the love's still there, and the memories are priceless. We love you, Shel.

Friends die, but our love and our gratitude for them are eternal. Shelly comes to mind often, always as a dear friend and shining example who served as a kind of 2nd father to me -- especially treasured during those first few years after the death of my own dad. Shelly was, and remains, a gift to all who knew him. Blessings to you, dear Sarah, kids, & grandkids. Love from Heather & me, & from Sam, xo

The month I met him, way back in...1990, I think?

Shelly was like a second father to me, sharing his wisdom, humor, patience & evenness, and love through thick and thin. Over these past 8 years have been, both Heather & I have missed him dearly. Still, we carry Shelly in our hearts, our memories, our thoughts, our actions -- in our very selves. Much love to Sarah, Lynne & Mark, David & Lee, & grandkids.

Dear Sarah, David, and Lynne,
Shelley--and all of you--showed such courage in the face of his illness. We hope that same courage will give you strength in the difficult days ahead. May you find comfort in knowing how much he meant to so many, and may his memory be for a blessing.

It will be my honor to eulogize Shel at his memorial service. I will strive to do him justice -- though any such effort is bound to come up short. Heather and I both miss him dearly, and our hearts are with you all. Love, Paul (& Heather)

Dear David, Lee, and family,
We are sorry for you loss. David your father and family have always been warm and welcoming. You have always spoken of your father with love, admiration and respect. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Fred and Eric
