September 6th, 1936 – March 24th, 2007

William Roger Shields Jr., age 70, born on September 6, 1936 in Chicago, IL passed away Saturday March 24, 2007 from complications related to Leukemia (Sepsis). William served in the United States Army for four years. He also served over 45 years as an electrical journeyman wireman out of IBEW (I�ve been everywhere) #349 in Miami, FL.

He loved the water, and was a fisherman, captain sailor, sports fan and motorcycle biker. He was strong-willed, stubborn and stuck to what he believed was the best way to do things, "My way or the highway." We were on the highway a lot! Dad did everything in life that he wanted to and felt he lived a very full and complete life. He said he wouldn�t have changed a thing. William leaves behind a son, Paul Shields; daughter, Candiece Mili Shields; and a wife, Beverly Shields.
