We all loved Mr. Shannon. He was our sweet dear friend. He was the best neighbor anyone could ever have. I learned so much from him. He was very wise. I loved to go visit him. He would tell me stories of his life. We would sit and talk and just enjoy each other's company. I will always treasure our visits. Thank you Shelia and Ted for sharing your mom and dad with me. I loved them.

Mr. Shannon was a wonderful neighbor to my parents for 50 plus years. He was always kind and thoughtful to all of us that grew up knowing him. I will always remember him and his love for bulldogs. My family and I will miss him. May God Bless each of your family left behind.

I have known Ralph for nearly 50 years. He has always been a good friend and a great person. I used to cut his hair and he loved to talk about baseball and recently in our Sunday school class he was telling some stories about his baseball days.We went to church with him for the past 43 years. He was a fine deacon and will be missed by many people.Our sympathy goes out to all of the family. Lynn & Barbara Barber
