  • Michael ,
  • PErhaps the greatest man I will never get to meet. My father's big brother,. Voracious basketball fan, many opportunities taken to sit courtside at Madison Square Garden to watch the newly formed Knickerbockers play a prodigy of sorts, an Ivy League medical student,This was like a three generation leap for the evolution of the Shea's in America. . Shot three times and killed on a battlefield, pulling injured men to safety. Jesus. My Father's hero, my father who lost so much when his brother was killed. This pained him every day for the rest of his life. And this kind of thing happened in pretty much every house in America and all around the world for those awful years. God Bless Us All.
