Tommy was my dads best friend growing up. We spent every summer I can remember staying with him & his beautiful family. I called him Uncle Tommy and I loved this man deeply. He had the best laugh, the funniest stories and time spent with his family always made me smile. I love you Uncle Tommy!!!

On November 14, 2016, I wrote a note here on Legacy guest book for Mr Shaw that was cut short down to one sentence! I'm not happy about this and there is nowhere to complain, as I searched.
So, in honor of Patriot Shaw I'm AGAIN sending a note of sympathy to all your family & friends, including work and campaigning to Make America GREAT Again! It is a tragic end to a great life that will make our world worst off. God bless you sir and Rest In Peace

O God, Whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, we humbly beseech Thee for the soul of Thy servant Tommy J. Shaw, which Thou hast this day commanded to depart out of this world, that Thou wouldst not deliver it into the hands of the enemy, nor forget it unto the end, but wouldst command it to be received by the Holy Angels, and conducted to Paradise, its true country; that as in Thee it hath hoped and believed, it may not suffer the pains of hell, but may take possession of eternal joys.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
