One of the true originals...twinkle in the eye takes on a whole new meaning when it came to Jack... I always admired the friendship between Ernie and Jack and am thinking of a great golf reunion in the sky with those crazy guys,,,patti

Jean, Ann, Bob, I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of your father. As you know John was a very close friend, our attorney, and confidant to my family during the Pittsfield days. Everyone loved John. He lived a full, happy life. You should be very proud of him. God bless. Paul Sweeney, Bethesda, Md.

For many years, John Shea and his family lived in a house on Pontoosuc Lake. I live in that house today, along with my wife and son. Every summer, a neighbor, friend or acquaintance of the Shea family has stopped to share a story (or two or three!) about Jack. The love, laughter and joy that the stories invariably feature are an indication of the lives that Jack touched. Thanks to him and his family for making our corner of the world a little bit brighter.

John was one of the good guys, after knowing him for many years,as a retired court employee and socially. He was always cordial and friendly to all people. Will miss his humor and advice. Rest in peace, John.

John was a class and fun guy, either in the Courts or spending time with him socially. I will miss his humor, honesty and good will. Rest in peace.

Jean and family, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. He sounds like quite the man! I hope your memories will help you through the next difficult days.

There was never a greater nor truer friend to my parents than John Shea. Our family holds so many wonderfully fun memories of him,....in our home on Harvard St., at the Shea summer cottage on the lake, the annual trips to Pinehurst with Bill Garrity, Art Bolby,and John Retallick ( and all the legendary tales of their antics there!),the 4th of July fireworks and cherry bomb incidents,evenings at "The Springs" restaurant, golf outings at The Berkshire Hill C.C., and on and on.......As a loyal friend to my parents,Betty and Tom Conry,..John extended that friendship to me and my three brothers, Tom, Jim, and Brian. We will always remember his larger than life Irish exuberance! He was loved by us all!
Jean, my brother Brian treasured your friendship.
Speaking for all our family, I send our most sincere condolences to all of you, Jean, Ann, and Bob,.....your father was one-of-a-kind, and much loved.

My uncle John was a wonderful role model growing up in Pittsfield and a True American Hero. I was blessed to have such a "cool" Uncle. He is one of the main reasons I pursued law. He was a great man.
