My dear Uncle "Willie" left our family with very happy memories. His jovial welcomes, jokes, and loving ways were memorable events in our childhood and growing up years. I later cherished his visit along with his daughters at the time of my 50th Jubilee. He was a great father, uncle, husband and friend to so many. He remains in my prayers. Love, S.

I want to express my condolence to each of you. Shaw and you,his family, have been part of our family's history for as long as I can remember. Oh, those picnics outside Talco will never be forgotten & the fun times we had. Shaw had a wonderful life and I know you are sure he is watching over your extended family as you carry on your daily lives.##imported-begin##Nancy Harlin Bond##imported-end##

My Dad, Andy Cameron, worked for Mr. Shaw for many years and I worked 4 summers on the right-of-way crew while going to college. I remember Mr. Shaw as a fair man that accepted people for the job they did rather than who they were or how they looked. I would like to extent our sorrow for your loss on behalf of the Cameron family.##imported-begin##Gaylon Cameron##imported-end##

I'm thinking of you all from far away; I'm so happy my brother Frankie was able to see Uncle Shaw right before he passed away. Last night I was telling my husband about Shaw and how he was always just "there". He was an institution. And I remember one story in particular that always makes me laugh and cry too.. As a little girl, we made numerous trips in the car from Houston to Kilgore to see our grandparents. I would frequently ask my Dad, "Where are we going?", to which he would often answer, "Constantinople." So for years I thought Constantinople was just north of Nacogdoches. When I got a little older, I started to wise up, and I remember telling Uncle Shaw about this geography issue, and I asked whether my Dad was actually telling me the truth about Constantinople being off Highway 59. He said, "Gretchen, honey, I'm sorry to tell you that your Daddy has not been telling you the truth. It's really much closer to Gladewater."
There was no one like him. Love, gretchen
