Rest In Peace Sharkey

It is with great sadness that today William "Sharkey" Friel passed away suddenly and peacefully at home earlier this afternoon. He was 77

Sharkey was known and loved by many people, I don't think there are many people who have a bad thing to say about him.

The world lost a good man today. Sharkey has touched many lives, and that will be his legacy.

He leaves behind his wife of 52 years, Genevieve, two sons, Jerry and Bill, and two grandchildren, Katelyn, and Liam (who is my son's best friend), and a whole lot of dear friends.

My thought and prayers are with the Friel family in this time of great sadness.

It was a pleasure knowing you Sharkey, you are one of a kind
