Over the past couple of years, Dr. Shannon rarely missed a Bells for Peace Board of Directors meeting via teleconferencing. He always shared many brilliant ideas with fervor. His warm synergy and cooperative spirit remained constant throughout his volunteer work with the organization. In recent weeks he shared his pleasure over the addition of Ms. Patti LaBelle to the Bells for Peace Board of Directors. He felt that her partnership, coupled with other prominent Board Directors, will add tremendous assistance in propelling the organization’s mission.

His wife, Mrs. Averett Shannon, as an Honorary Director of Bells for Peace, shared her husband’s deep commitments, that included financial assistance, and has remained “a constant” force in fortifying Dr.Shannon’s work.

The Board of Directors of Bells for Peace will be forever grateful to Dr. David Shannon for his encouragement, wisdom and support that extended to his last days on earth.
