Our family is so sorry for your loss. Shane was one-of-a-kind, a trusted colleague and a wonderful friend. I met Shane in 2006, when he was saving my behind by helping me get an impossible project done over 4th of July weekend. I always felt that just knowing Shane’s phone number gave me a leg up in my career. It definitely gave me confidence and calm—which can be so hard to come by in the legal profession. I was sad when he left Chicago, but I was happy to see him happy. A soul as beautiful as his is so rare, leaving a beautiful imprint on anyone lucky enough to be touched by it. I am lucky to have known him.
John and Debbie we are so sorry. May you know you in our prayers. All our love, Carol and Becky
Jackie, Chris, John and Debbie
