On January 6, 2021, Howard "Cy" Frederick Shire, Jr. passed away peacefully at home after a long bout with cancer with his beloved wife by his side. After 4 years in the Air Force, he graduated from the University of MD, and worked as a manager for Hertz and Reynolds Aluminum before becoming an independent contractor with his own trucking business. In retirement he worked over 20 years in Logistics at Nordstrom, Towson. Cy was a voracious reader and hard worker who loved family, friends, travel, good food, a good game of hearts and crazy socks. He was an active member of The Church of the Holy Comforter, Lutherville. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Humphreys Shire, of 42 years and by his children Brian Shire, Becky Ortiz Cottrell, Alex Ortiz, David Ortiz, 8 grandchildren, brother Randy, and sister Dee.
