Richard Randall Shaw

Missing you.

Rest in Peace

So sorry to hear of my friends passing but I know he is in a better place. If it were not for Rick, I would not have been able to play the guitar and sing stories. Rick gave me my first lesson on how to sing and tell a story and how to play many licks and strums on the guitar. I played with Danny all across New England for years thanks to Ricks tutoring. I remember at UNH the afternoon that Rick knocked on my dorm room door and asked me to take him to Exeter to get his new Buick...

My Mom and I enjoyed their many performances when we lived in NH Seacoast. Rick was a gracious person. After one concert at Maudsley Park, I was able to chat with them. My Brother attende UNH and they actually remembered him !
So sorry fot this loss. I'm happy to have several or their recordings.

Dear “Rick”, you didn’t know this however, you were a big part of my growing up years in the early 70’s. My mother and grandmother adored you. So much so, they each adopted pups they named , “Rick” and “Ron”. Every concert you had at the Oxen Yoke, North Conway, NH as the Shaw Brothers they brought me to until at 16 on my birthday was the last concert I went to because I moved away. We were so proud of your song becoming NH Anthem. Thank you for the wonderful memories. My sincere...

My Wife and I met Rick once after a concert in N Virginia, cannot remember which venue...sigh, getting old also. Wonderful guy!!! My whole family loved The Shaw Brothers, and attended many of the concerts in Prescott Park when we lived in S. Portland during the 80s! I have almost all their albums and CDs, and play them regularly.
To the Shaw Family, my most sincere condolences for your loss, please know that Rick and Ron will be greatly missed by me, and many, many fans!

Rest in peace, Rick Shaw. Thank you for many things: love of home and homeland, love of people, joy and laughter and music of course. Thank you most especially for the love.

I was saddened to hear of both Shaw Brothers passing. I was a Sigma Beta brother in the late 60s, and knew a great deal about them. I really owe them a debt of gratitude as they were my mother's favorite singers. She listened to their albums every day. Later, when she developed Alzeimer's, their music brought her peace and comfort when she was confused or frightened. The Shaw Brothers helped her right to the end. Thanks.

I was saddened to learn of Rick's passing. I met Rick and Ron at Camp Huckins where I learned safe canoeing from Rick and was thrilled to do a 3-day trip down the Saco River. As Camp Huckins became a memory, I traveled to see them perform whenever I could. My husband and I relocated to Colorado so we missed the more recent years. But the rich music they created remains in my heart. Condolences to Jessica and Sallie, and other family members.
