I don't have a name for this poem yet..but I wrote it for Mr. Shields when I found out what happened. For Mark, Harrison, Katie, and Julie. We often tend to criticize Why he does what he does For when one of us dies He usually tells us, because... “The one I took away Was an angel in dismay He is no longer in any pain So stop your tears from pouring out like rain…� “On the day his heart stopped ticking I did not waste my time picking Away with me he ran Too find his new life that just began…�

I was so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing . My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family .

To the Shields' family...... I just learned today of Jim's passing. Sending my deepest condolences. I did not work with Jim very often, but on the times that I did, I remember him as being very conscientious and dedicated to his job. He was quick to respond to an email and prompt to follow up when needed. It was a pleasure to have known him. Sincerely..... Lois

There have been a lot of great memories (our wedding) which will always bring a smile to our faces . Jim laughter ,smile and keen wit will always be something to remember ,he was one of a kind . Rest in peace god friend . Swing away .

Julie, Katie, Harrison and Mark, You have no idea how much time we spent and enjoyment we got watching Jim interact with you kids. It always made us smile hearing him playing sports with you (and from the sound of it trying to win). We particularly enjoyed watching Jim lean back against his car while instructing Harrison how to mow the lawn. The neighborhood will be so much quieter without him. He will be sorely missed. Love, The Seelys

Mr. Shields was a great man, friend, coach, and father to his kids. He will never be forgotten and he will always be loved and missed. This shouldn't have happened this soon. All I keep thinking about are his famous phrases during our softball games and practices. There are too many great things about him to list. i will always be (dav) or (davineau without the n) to him. stay strong Shields family<3

Julie & Family - Words can't even express the deep sympathies Gail & I have for you right now. Jim was a true, loving family man and it showed every time he was at a sporting event watching every move that was being made. We are grateful to have gotten to know him better over the years. May he rest in peace.

Oh Jimmy, there was never a dull moment when you were around. You would always make us laugh and Julie would just shake her head haha We all became your friend on FB too. Youwill be missed so much Jimmy.

Julie & Kids, We are so sorry about Jim. He will be missed and remembered always. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Julie & Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of golfing with Jimmy on Sundays. He could not make every week because he never wanted to miss any of the kids activities. I especially enjoyed just bumping into him at an industry event or even at Dunkin Donuts. He had a way of bringing a smile and a laugh almost instantly that would make your day. I will miss most his deep hearty laugh and big toothy grin. Rest in Peace Shieldsy!

I am so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. Jim and I worked together for several years and he always had a simile on his face and was upbeat. There are some people whose absense diminishes all of us permanently. Because they are unique, they will not come our way again. Jim Shields was such a person. My deepest condolences.
