My family lovingly called him "Mr. Shake" :)  When the kids were young, everytime we would go to Walmart, where he worked, the kids would always ask not go in the back by the Electronics dept to see if he was there.  He had a way of talking to them as if they were not just a kid but as a human in which most adults don't do while interacting with youngsters.  He'd greet them with a smile or if they were out of the cart, they'd run ahead, making it like a game as to whom wouldnfind him 1st, to get a hug. Awwee man, it's  hard for me to even go back there to that department without seeing and thinking of him but I do.  I smile and look up in rememberance and around hoping to see him around the next aisle.

     Just thinking of him now has me tearing up.  The store is not the same.  He's missed more than you can imagine.  I still go there to check on the other elders that still work there like Dinah, Omar and Bob, just like I did with Shakespeare.  We often chat about him since they knew how much he meant to us and me, especially.  

     Love you always, Shakespeare.  Your friend, Onika Fennell.

He always welcomed us to the marina like it was home. Bob and Dick and Sha bought a pool table to play at Shas house. We often stayed at the living room late on a summer night to chat. He always had pearls of wisdom to relay.

We miss him.

Diane and Bob

We met at the "Pier" and spent many nights musing over world affairs and other pertinent subjects.  Sha was an ambitious fella with a very interesting life which he only shared bits with us.   Safety Harbor will not be the same without  our friend  here.   Condolences to family and we look forward to seeing you on the 19th.  Bob and Diane Trayling
