Thomas Alan Shaw

We worked together when we built the Huntington Beach High School pool. He was also a member of the HBHS Foundation and during one of our celebrations at my house, he had to work at the fire station so he brought the engine and a few cute firemen with him. My neighbors thought there was a fire. I loved Tom, everyone loved Tom! RIP, Buddy and love to Marsha and the kids.

Tom was my neighbor and friend for more than 40 years. I'll miss his laugh and humor.

Such a huge loss for so many...You have been on my mind and in my prayers. We are so sorry for your loss.

Tom was probably the only person I ever met who could take something as dry as Hazwopper training and make it bearable! lol. He was a great guy and always a pleasure to have come out to see us for our annual training. As a student, it was easy to tell from his experience that he was well versed and exceptionally knowledgeable in the material he taught. We'll miss him and I can only imagine how very much he will be missed by his family. God be with Tom's family during this very difficult time.

The memories that Tom has left behind are wonderful, he was a loving person, cared about everyone he always had a hug for you. He had a passion for training others and making you realize that saving others is very important. One of his sayings were" not getting a warm and fuzee feeling" on the answer to his question. He always had a smile and he loved his family and grandchildren very much. He will be missed dearly. May the Lord comfort family and friends in this time of lose.

Rest in Peace Tom. You were a Great! Friend, Influencer and Man.
You helped to make the World a better place.

Sorry for the families loss but Tom was part of our family too. When I hired on with Chevron back in 1991 Tom was teaching Hazwopper and this was my first training with the company. We're out there on Bayou Signet outside of New Orleans dressed in our fully capsulated hazwopper suites & SCBA's pulling boom on the water recovering popcorn and having the community look at us like we're crazy. I tell Tom that I'm not sure what my role is and what I need to do. He looks at me and says we will...

Thanks for all the memories, you will be truly missed. Gods speed Sir.
