My prayers are with the Shields family at this time and always. My memories of Bob are from working with him for over 22 years at WLTX. He was one of the best Sports Directors I've known and worked with. Bob always had a beautiful smile on his face that would make even the most difficult days bearable. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

I would see Bob every so often at the gym. We had great talks, and he always remembered that I am a Penn State alumnus/fan. His professionalism was unequaled, and will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace, and may lgith perpetual shine upon him.
