I Miss you already

Have fond memories of Tom. He was a fun person to be around, and he loved his 2 children, Heather and Chris, more than anything. Dick and I always enjoyed it when we would run into Tom at one of the local restaurants in Bay Park. Can´t believe it´s been 12 years.

My heartfelt condolences to Tom's daughter, son, grandchildren and all the Shaw family.

Words cannot express the shock and sadness of Tom's passing. I guess we all thought he would live forever. His smile, laughter and wit will live on in the memories we have of him. My memories of Tom take me back to our early years in the 60's & 70's. We shared so much, joy and sorrow, but through it all Tom always bounced back...larger than life as everyone says. We were both almost killed in...

Tom Shaw never forgotten the times spent in your company you had the cheekiest smile I have ever seen, the best company I have ever been in, reading your obituary is pretty moving stuff, it seems you touched the hearts of all you met. You made me feel like a MILLION DOLLARS, thanks for your inspiration. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Our sincere condolences to Tom's children, grandchildren and all the Shaw family.

I first met Tom at Anniesland College in Glasgow in the late 60's. Tom 's antics kept the class in stitches for hours on end. One of the best memories I have of Tom is when he was buying an MG sports car. He was short a few quid and immediately smooth-talked all the guys into donating to his cause. He even managed to talk the Prof into loaning him 10 quid. He was larger than life, always telling...

Tom - an acquaintance, a friend and my brother-in-law will never be forgotten.
It is a mere twenty years since I was first introduced to Tom but it took less than twenty minutes for him to make an impression. In such a short time it seemed as if I had known him all my life - his warm, cheery personality extending a welcome to me to...

It was sad news to hear of Tom's passing and I send my heartfelt sympathy to all the Shaw family.
I first met Tom and the rest of the "mad mod Toryglen squad" way back in 1966, Tom became a good friend to me over the years particularly in Jersey. We will all cherish our memories of Tom his generosity, enthusiasm for life and his beaming smile will not be forgotten.

Just heard the sad news. What a guy! His memory will live on as he sails the open sea on his eternal cruise. Love you Tom!

Heather, I met you a few times recently when i was over holidaying with Tom. Tom and I met when we where teenagers and went out together for a while he was the kindest most generous person i knew. There will always be a special place in my heart for Tom. He will be sorley missed by everyone who knew him. My deepest sympathy to you, chris and all toms family.
