John was surely one of a kind, one of the most straight forward people we knew and always there if we needed him. I am so sorry for the Shaw families loss, John will be missed greatly. He and the family and his beloved pets (which he loved so much) are in our thoughts and prayers.

Knowing John was a true blessing in life. The times that we had together will last forever in memory. We should all cherish the good times that we experienced with John. A strong man with a huge heart that was there for you when needed. A true one of a kind individual. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Shaw family and his puppies who he cherished daily!! RIP John

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Shaw family, his friends and his fraternal brothers and sisters. John was a wonderful man who could make us smile, laugh and remember that life shouldn't be so serious. When we lost John, we lost a smile.

Ralph, Kenneth, David, I am so sorry for your loss. I still have all fond memories from us when we were younger. Especially the green tomatoe fights and even the bottle rocket wars. John will be so greatly missed by many . Though many years have passed I still have the fondest memories of all us signal hill kids.

Brother John Shaw.....A one of a kind Phi Sig. I am glad that after many years, we were united, even if only briefly via a social page, may he rest in peace.

It's a real shame to hear about the passing of our fraternity brother, John, a guy who would have stood up for all of us, regardless of whether we were close to him or not. That's just the kind of integrity the guy had. I think all of us can probably still easily conjure up a smile with thoughts about some of the things he said, his music and the portal to Bulky's Pub. Go easy into the Chapter Eternal, Brother Shaw. Thoughts go out to Spence, the rest of his family and all of his friends.

The Bible makes this comforting promise:"God is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves."(Psalm 34:18)It also assures us: Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you." (Psalm 34:18)also read(Psalm 83:18)

This is a great loss to many. John, a brother Demolay, and good friend, you will be deeply missed. Time may pass too quickly and lives drift apart, but there will always be those memories. Rest In Peace.
