Survived by his children, Kelly (Daniel), James Shea II, their mother, Renee Houlehan (Richard), and grandchildren; sisters, Debby (Bill), Cheryl (Chuck), and Pam; brother, Dave (Pamm); nieces and nephews and families. A special thank you to Paul Walker for his loyal friendship.

Joan Trebus says
I gave Jim several rides to various doctor appointments after he got sick. I threatened to stop giving him rides because he was costing me too much money. He kept hearing small noises that I had my mechanic follow-up on. Jim was always spot on!
On grandparents day at my grandkids school I didn’t know how to handle that because I had 6 grandkids in that school. Jim offered to help so the kids felt someone was there for them.
He’ll be missed.
