Peter L. Shaw

I miss you everyday Dad. I know you are in a better place serving the Lord. We had good times in Florida.

I just found out Pete had passed. I am so sorry for the family. I worked with Pete when he was a Deputy for Martin County. He was a great Deputy and a great guy. We had lots of fun times together working the streets. I hope he had a good life and died peacefully. What a loss.

Pete loved to sail and he loved the water.He was in the Navy early on. He loved to help people. He had a big heart.Many times he would give his lunch money away(buy someone something to eat) as he felt they needed it much more than he.He had a very warm,loving,tender heart.He was the most generous person I have ever met in my life. He loved the lord. We prayed together,read the Word together.
