To all of Bob´s family I am sorry to hear the news of his passing. I first met Bob in 1970 and we became instant friends. I have so many fond memories of him and my times at the Stage Coach Inn. He was a great guy and fun to be around. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of his loss.Prayers to his family.

My sincere condolences to the family. Bob was a good friend over the years. I was a member of the 4H club that he had at the farm and I rode my bike to the meetings. The Moreau Mountain Boys. He will be missed. He was a man of many talents.

Mr Shaw, for me, was a longtime family friend, especially for my parents, William & Lorna Cridge, In Fortsville. I remember going to their farm when i was young for different occasions , all happiness. Sad, but what a great honor for me and everyone he has helped.

Bob may you rest in peace my friend.You will be missed by many.Patty and I had some great times with you in Vegas and it was always great just visiting with you at the shop. Our prayers are out for you,Janet and the rest of your family.
