John Shaw passed away in San Diego, California. The obituary was featured in San Diego Union-Tribune on June 3, 2009.
I served with him, aboard Bainbridge, when LT Shaw was deep selected for LCDR. Few who knew him were surprised when he made flag rank. RIP

Jan and Family:
I was very sorry to learn that we lost Jack. We were the same age, cousins, and grew up near one another in Fortville, Indiana, before Jack moved to Hagerstown at around age 6. We continued to see each other frequently until he left for the Academy. He was a great kid- and loved to play with a set of toy soldiers he kept under the stairs in his house.
I regret we didn't see more of one another during our adult years, but I am glad we were able to have two long...

Jan & Family We are truly saddened and in shock at Jack's passsing. He was a good friend and classmate. I will miss hoisting a BayHawk Beer with Jack as well as his smile! He was a mentor to my son when aboard the 'Billy-B' and as a result, my son joined the Navy too! Thanks, Jack!
