My deepest sympathies to the entire Shannon family. I have many wonderful memories of your father, too many to list - Hunyaks and Grand Beach. He was always the life of the party. I can still hear his laugh. He will be missed. Love to all of you!

There is so much to say about a man as wonderful as Mr . Shannon. He was a life long friend of my dad and he and Mrs. Shannon were great friends with my mom and dad. I have such great memories of him and the whole Shannon crew from Grand Beach and the Hunyuks! He always had a smile on his face and a ready laugh on his lips! He was a great friend of the Treacys! We especially appreciate his thoughtfulness with my mom after my dad died! Thank you Mr. Shannon for a world of great memories. You will be truly missed! My heartfelt sympathies to all the Shannon's!! Love and hugs to you all!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Walter Lippmann spoke of men who plant trees under which they know they'll never sit. Mr. Shannon was such a man.
