Sheldon E. Runlett

Good By Shelly,

You were one of the more pleasant and down to earth police officers I ever had the pleasure to serve with.

Dean, Shella, Deanne, Robbin and families;
So very sorry to learn of Sheldon's passing. We were very close friends while living in Meadowbrook Apts. 68-72. The good times and parties we all had doesn't seem that long ago as I remember back. Sheldon and my family got along really well.
My sincere condolences to all of you at this sad time.

My deepest condolences to you and your family Linda. May God provide you with comfort and peace. Love Vera

Linda, my sincere condolences to you and your family.

Linda,
I am sorry to hear of Shelly's passing. You are correct when you say that he made a tremendous impact in the Sexual Assault and Bias Unit. He helped train me and inspire me. He was a passionate and thorough investigator and truly did God's work in the unit. Peace be with you and the rest of his family.

Dear Linda,

I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and sending you prayers and comfort.

With deepest sympathy,

Carrie

Linda,
My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Hi Linda,I was so very sad to hear the news about your husband Shelly.I never had the pleasure to meet him but I remember how much he made you laugh. When you talked about him you always smiled. I enjoyed hearing about your trips together with the dogs.He gave you lots of extra time to shop during your vacations. He certainly seemed like a special man and gentleman. Please accept my condolences at this time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Cheryl Smith

I lived at 13 Ward St., I remember Sheldon at MHS, I think he living on Elm St. We were not close friends, I remember him as pleasant person, smiling with, perhaps a bit of mischief on his mind. I was MHS Photographer, he was on Wetomhs and 1962 Wepwaug yearbook pictures committees. So he would have seen all my school newspaper and yearbook photos. I took almost all the pictures in the yearbook, except formal portraits. His words written to me above his yearbook picture: "To Big G from Little R" I was 6'4", probably biggest student.

Sorry for your loss, He was a great Police instructor and friend, Rest in Pease Sir.

Linda,
Very sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers to you and your family.
