Not sure what to say?

He had a special liking for my husband Richard who worked with him at WSAZ. We have many pictures he drew of Rich, quite amusing!
What a wonderful guy and so hilarious. Just found this, so sorry about his passing.

Lena, my condolences to you on Shawkey's passing. My husband, Bill, thoroughly enjoyed working w/Shawkey @ WSAZ TV for many years. He was a man of special talent, a wonderful laugh, and a true friend. Heaven will be a lively place with Bill and Shawkey there together. Prayers of comfort and peace to you for your loss. Frances

My sincerest sympathies to the Saba family at this most difficult time. May you be comforted in knowing that God is near to the broken hearted, he saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I always marveled at Shawkey's talent. I was alway a fan of his TV show, "Let's Doodle," on WSAZ-TV back in the 50's.

I worked with Shawkey, at WSAZ in the summer of 1964. He was a very gifted artist and together with Bennie Shaffer was the source of humor on the third floor. I remember he had a great fondness for very large green-leaf cigars.
My condolences to the family.

Shawkey was one of a kind. One of the first people I met when joining WSAZ in 1968 he remained a friend at First Church of nearly forty years. My sympathy to Lena. And to the saints who from their labors rest...things are going to liven up a bit with Shawkey on the scene.

Shawkey was a gifted artist, who added much to WSAZ-TV's look in the golden days before computer generated graphics. One of the good guys!
