I’m not sure who may know this or not. Joe Shea, my dear husband passed away April 2, 2018.  He was a father of four wonderful children and a grandfather of two.

He accomplished his career goal of flying for United Airlines as a Captain on Boeing’s 777.  He was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer in February 2016 and died the day after Easter 2018.

I’m sure he will be with you all in spirit at your reunion, with his quick smile and gentle presence.

I hope the reunion goes well,

Linda Shea
