This is so very sad... the son of Jim Shaw, Jon Shaw, posted this note and photos on Facebook.

James L. Shaw - July 22, 1949 - September 17, 2023

My Dad passed away last night. He was the kindest, most generous, most morally sound man I have known. It is incredibly painful to accept that I won't be able to speak to him again.

I love you Dad.
