Our deepest sympathies to all of the Shehan family. Gerry was in our lives for about 40 years and we loved him dearly even if we didn't see him often. So many fond memories. We are thinking of all of you.

I just heard about his passing today. Gerry worked with Vitruvian Medical (the anesthesia locum agency I work for) many times and I knew him well. He was always willing to help and always made us look good on the job. He was a great CRNA and an even better person. If you talked to Gerry for any length of time you heard all about his wife Laura and children whom he loved dearly. He always had kind words to say and never lost his cool when there was a problem. Rest in Heaven, my friend. You will be so very missed here on earth.
