To the Shannahan Family, my condolences on your tremendous loss. I am still at shock. We became friends in Mannheim and I visited him a few times. I will never forget when I was invited to your house at Thanks Giving in 1993. It was like being part of this lovely family. Last year I "googled" Regis and send him an email to his law firm account but never got an answer. I wanted to get back in touch ... unfortunately too late as I found out only today when I looked for him in the web again. Rest in peace, Regis. You and your family made a big difference in my life!

Dear family of Regis Shannahan,
I want to express my sincere condolences for your loss. Although Regis was not someone I knew well, I had some interaction with him professionally and he stood out as someone who was exceptionally nice and friendly. I was saddened to hear of his passing but so inspired to hear more about who he was as a person how he touched the lives of others.

To the Shannahan family -
I knew Regis from NHS and our lives crossed many times over the years. My father and Regis Sr. were friends so our fathers and all the kids went to New Britian Red Sox games together, eating peanuts and throwing the shells. Also, every morning before school a group of us including Regis would meet in the Band Room to clap a cool and compllcated rhythm which would get us ready to start our day. These memories stand out because they exhibit that even as a teenager Regis was a wonderful brother and friend, which endured over the years. My heart goes out to the entire family. Regis will be missed.

It is with extreme sympathy that I extend my deepest condolences to you for the loss of Regis. Regis was a special person; He was accomplished, fun loving and was a man if integrity. I knew him in Middle and High School and when I met him I knew that I wanted him as a friend. I, like others, seeked him out at High School reunions and my wife an I always looked forward to catching up with him. He will be sorely missed.
We have all been blessed to have know Regis. Please let the love of God comfort you during this very difficult time.
Sincerely,

I knew Regis at John Patterson elementary, JWMS and NHS '81. I was so glad we got to reconnect many times over the years (through less than 6 degrees of seperation he ended up knowing some of my friends here in Boston!).
I just wanted everyone to know that I was thinking of Regis, his ever smiling face and laugh.
So many people, past and present, held him in high esteem. He will not be forgotten.
With much love,
Barry

To the family of Regis - So many years have passed since our incredible childhood. Regis was life, and will always be remembered. I will never forget his long blond hair, before school gym at Patterson Elementary School, his speed and athleticism and his friendship. I am so sorry for your loss, and so grateful that I had the opportunity to share part of his young life. God bless him for all he has accomplished, for all those he has helped, and for all those who now have renewed hope in their future.

Dear AnnMari,Laura Victoria, Christopher, Michael, Nancy, Laura, Benjamin, Regis and Family....
My heart aches for this loss. Realizing how difficult it is for myself to accept it makes me realize that I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it is for you. Please know that we are here for any and all of
you...just as Regis was and as you have always been, for myself and my family.
I have many happy memories to embrace going back some 35 years, use them as I do to remember Regis, his smile, his laughter and his joy for life. Use them as I do to help ease the sting of his passing, of your loss, of our loss.
Find peace and happiness as he still continues to help others....why are we not surprised.
We Love You....
We'll Miss Him,
