SHEA, William J
THE COMPASS, 08 January 1970
TRIBUTE - WILLIAM J SHEA
On December 3, death claimed Bill Shea and many people in every walk of life grieved, for where Bill went, there he found a friend. We first met Bill when we moved to Bell Island in 1963 and we watched and marvelled at the enthusiasm he always had for everything; his work at the Vocational School, his devotion to the boys at the Wabana Boys' Club and to his little brother Paddy. All children were drawn to Bill by some instinct and all were dear to him. Watching him one could scarcely believe him to be a serious diabetic. Two serious accidents (one nearly fatal) added much to his discomfort but he was never heard to complain for Bill loved live and he lived it to the fullest. Moving to Mount Pearl in 1966, he was rapidly establishing himself as a well liked and respected citizen.
He was returned to his beloved "Island" on December 5 and laid to rest in the Roman Catholic Cemetery there.
To Bernadette, our special thoughts and prayers.
(Don and Olive Sanger, Lewisporte)
