Not sure what to say?

I cannot believe it's been 2 years since Dr. Shaye passed away. Bill & I still talk off and on about our time at the dental school and all of Dr. Shaye's corny jokes! When Bill & I were getting ready to move to Iowa, I had told Dr. Shaye I'd miss his 'corny jokes'---to which he replied 'corny??' LOL Yes, Dr. Shaye, 'corny'. Since Dr. Shaye passed we have lost another, Dr. Chadha. In my mind, everyone is still 'very much alive' and still making me laugh. May he rest in peace..... ...

we are very sorry to hear about Robert passing . May he rest in peace and give you and your family enough strength to bear the loss .

Dear Baerbel and Shaye Family. Virginia and I are so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. Bob and Baerbel were our wonderful neighbors on Wheeler Street in Metairie for many years. It was my pleasure to enjoy many hallway conversations with Bob as he was clinically sharp and had a keen research mind for the postgraduate students. He served admirable in Dr. J M Chadha Orthodontic department and subsequently as Dean of Research for LSU School of Dentistry. God Bless Bob, Baerbel and the Shaye...

May God be with the family in y'all time of grief.

Dear Shaye family
I was very sad to learn about DrShaye. I will always remember him as a great teacher and always being available to help any of his students. This was especially true during my research project. I will never forget how with his guidance and help I was able to complete this research during ortho school. Those were really fond remembered. May God Bless him and his entire family! Nicholas A. Plaisance '78

To the Shaye Family:
I was one of the assistants in the Orthodontic Department at LSU School of Dentistry and worked closely with Dr Shaye from 1982-1995. Dr Dhaye was an excellent professor, a jokester, and family man. We knew as soon as he entered the clinic or the office he would do something or say something to make everyone laugh. We all enjoyed working with him. He will be missed by all that knew him.

To Baerbel and family,
Laura and I were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a wonderful teacher, friend and colleague. We enjoyed your company so much at LSU functions. He was always so friendly and humorous and took a special interest in my wellbeing as a student and instructor. We will miss him dearly. God bless you. Love you, Jack and Laura Clotworthy

To the Shaye family,I also was one of Dr.Shaye's orthodontic residents 1975-77 and a colleague as I was also on the faculty in the orthodontic department 1977-1985.Bob was an excellent teacher, orthodontist, colleague and a lot of fun.Always cheerful and witty.He will be missed.God bless.

Dear Shaye Family:
As a former patient and student of your father, I found inspiration to pursue a career in orthodontics. Bob was a keen mind which I respected and his loss is that of someone who has mentored by his actions. I trust there are many others who he has come in contact with who have also been affected by his friendship and example. His loss is a sad one for all but there is comfort in knowing that he lived a purposeful life for himself and others.
