His son, John Kennon Shea, will now take over the facilities. He is survived by his wife, Victoria Anne Shea; his children John Kennon Shea, Graham Thomas Shea and Anna Kathleen Shea; his parents, Edward Shea and Dorothy Shea; four siblings, Kathleen Shea, Roger Shea, Laurie Shea and Timothy Shea; and numerous nieces and nephews.
