Rest in Peace Smitty, from your friend Ronnie Nemcko, in heaven you will lose that big hook and only hit em straight. I will always remember the fun we had and your infectious smile. Never forget our infamous dip in the pool at the golf club on a hot August nite during club Championship.
To Deanna and your family you are all in my thoughts and prayers, he is in good hands now resting peacefully.

When I heard of this I was out of the country and unable to attend. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to his wife and kids, his mom and dad and his brother. I grew up with Shane as young kids and we always manage to have a lot of fun. Over the years I would run into him and I could always tell he loved his wife and children very much. He was a very generous man and will be missed by many many people. It was an honor to have known him. Rest in peace my old friend until we meet again.

Deanna and Family,
I am so saddened to hear about the loss of Shane. I have such fond memories of him as a fixture at the dance studio growing up, always there to support and cheer us on.
As someone who has spent most of my career in Clinical Research, I have so much respect for Shane for participating in a clinical trial. His decision to join a study will be of benefit to others suffering with his illness and for the researchers who work to discover treatments. Be very proud.
My deepest sympathies to all - sending you love and wishing you happiness in fond memories.

Just wanted to send my condolences to the family especially to Deanna, Brooklynne and Zachary. I knew Shane from Welland Forge. Whenever Shane and I met, he always spoke about his family and how proud he was of them. You could tell where his priorities were. Shane and I had much in common - both owned and ran Forge shops (mine was DemShe Products), enjoyed meeting new people and loved family. My wife Wendy taught at Pathway School just prior to Deanna starting there. He will be greatly missed.

To Deanna and family: My sincere condolences for your loss. As you know, I worked closely with Shane for the past eight years. He was universally loved and respected at work. Shane treated the folks at Welland Forge, PC Forge and IMT Forge like his second family. He was generous with his time, made each one of us feel valued, and provided us with leadership on our biggest challenges and opportunities.
Personally, I will miss Shane’s wisdom and friendship very much.

Smitty was one of a kind. I was hesitant to bring a parent on my coaching staff, but soon it was clear he had nothing but the best intentions for all the players and not just his son. He treated everyone like family and I am very lucky to have gotten to know him the way I did. My thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time, my condolences.

Shane and I met years ago when he was with Hayes Dana and I was with the Dana US Sales Team responsible for the Ford Account. Our friendship grew over the years as he continued to be promoted in the purchasing organization, then becoming the President of Welland Forge after leaving Dana. Our relationship continued since I moved to the Dana Purchasing Team as a Forging Buyer, with Welland Forge as one of my key suppliers.
Shane was a solid professional no matter what capacity he was serving. He knew his stuff extremely well, very smooth and terrific to work with as a supplier to Dana. He was an amazing organizer who possessed excellent communication skills. I don't believe I ever heard him raise his voice when negotiations were difficult, he had to the knack to bridge the gaps in an effort to resolve conflicts.
Sadly we never got the chance to play golf together, however I knew he would kick my butt, so perhaps that isn't a bad thing.
Truly my heart goes out to you his family for your loss, I will miss him, a wonderful man he was indeed.
Heartfelt Condolences
