Donald Michael O'Shei

West Point, 1956

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by John McGinn on October 16, 2010:

We were shocked and saddened by the news that Don O'Shei was gone. Our loss is Heavens gain He is a warm, wise, engaging, man of principal. It is difficult for me to find all the right words to remember this very unique guy.

But he is up there with his beloved BJ and buddy Bob Sullivan... What a reunion! Lessez les bonnes temps roulez!
Heaven rocks.

Memories. WE all have them. Kay Sullivan and Bob St. Louis have the best and most complete of our group. They brings both tears and smiles.

There is an Irish blessing (o) which I believe well identifies Don O'Shes. (-) Comment added.

It goes:

O A happy, generous nature,
A friendly spirit too-
- That's Don

O These are the gifts Saint Patrick
Has surely given him-
- Surely, surely.

O And may every day to come
Bring a generous part
- It did.

O Of all the happy things in life
That kept joy in his heart
- BJ, children, family, friends, service, success.....
