Not sure what to say?

I'm thinking about Tony as I send Holiday greetings. I don't know where his family is located but I wish them a happy holiday!

I worked with Dr Shaw at City of Hope as his scrub tech for 2 1/2 years. I cannot say enough nice things about him as a caring person and fantastic surgeon for his pediatric patients. Sorry to hear of his passing, but want his family to know he touched not only the patients and families he cared for but those who worked alongside him.

I think about Tony often and I miss his attention. He always read my drafts, made comments, and then even read the published product! Giants like him are encountered infrequently and are missed forever.

Dr. Shaw saved my life in1976 at the University of Virginia Medical Center. God bless his life and his family.

Dr Shaw created the Virginia Child Protection Newsletter. Later, I became the editor of VCPN and Dr. Shaw became my champion. He contributed to articles, offered his ideas and critiques, and read every word of each issue. He continued to mentor me until the end of his life and I am grateful. Joann Grayson

I will never forget Dr. Shaw he was very high class and most intelligent person very honored to be his care taker. His passing broke my heart. Rest in peace Dr. Anthony Shaw.
