Shag proudly served in the United States Army from 1970 - 1974. He worked as a security guard for Doehlar - Jarvis, until his retirement. A jack of all trades, he was a great handyman; working the homes of others from drywall to painting. Shag would help anyone in need and fix just about anything. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially fishing. Shag's smile and love will forever be missed by those who knew him and the memories will live on!
