Christine Walsh, December 12, 2009 Although I didnt know Mr.Shea directly, I know of someone who did, thru squad, and I can see how Jimmy's passing shook this person to the core, so Jimmy must indeed have been a phenominal man and the story of his passing as told by The Post Star broke my heart. I guess if you have faith, then to say that Jimmy went on to the big rig in the sky would be ok. It's especially tragic given the time of the year. With that being said, weep not for his passing but laugh a deep laugh for the memories till the tears you cry are of joy and not sadness. May you all find peace and love in each other as you come together to celebrate Jimmy's life and his untimely passing.

Rick & Lorrie Conlee, December 12, 2009 Jim was always there to help no matter what. We will miss him very much. He was a big part of many families. He touched a lot of lives with his humor and love. Thank you Jim for being a part of our lives...

Kimberly Ghulam, December 12, 2009 Eventhough I may have not met you, I was able to see the love and beauty that you brought to Gansevoort. May God bless you in your new journey, and may he bless your family. Kimberly, Robert, Naghena and Gogee Ghulam.

Michael and Laura Vance, December 12, 2009 Our thoughts are with Jim's family at this sad time. He was a wonderful man who will be missed and remembered by many.

Char, December 12, 2009 Jim, you were so kind whenever I visited and "stole" Linda from you for a quilting adventure. You are the light in your wife, Linda's eyes, and heart and soul. You will be so missed. Linda you have so many who will be there for you; including me. I miss you all and please know I am there in spirit. I love you, Linda, Char

Donnalynn, December 14, 2009 I am crushed by this loss. On my list of best people in the whole world, Jim was on top. (Linda is too) Always helpful, never complaining, just so willing for do whatever needed to be done for anyone, and so humble. A true gentleman, a true hero. I'm sure he was loved by many, and will be remembered for a very, very long time ... as it should be! I, for one, will never forget him. God, please welcome Jim with open arms. Bless him and keep him. He's earned a seat as your right hand man.
