Donald Michael O'Shei

West Point, 1956

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Don Terrana on October 18, 2010:

Don O'Shei was my uncle. My mother was his older sister. She was so proud of him and his accomplishments some fifty years ago, that she named me after him.

To say the least he was a larger than life figure in our household. And, as anyone who knew him can attest, he never failed to live up to his reputation. He did this by simply not trying to live up to his reputation. Don was a caring person, very generous with his time and attention. He was very proud of his family and was a master at turning a conversation about himself into a story about his boys or his grandchildren.

Our mother passed a few years ago. Uncle Don visited at that time and his presence and gracious words were appreciated by all of us, especially our father.

I, my brothers and our families extend our deepest sympathies to Don, John & Ross and their families.
