Raymond Alvin Shaw

all about Ray

Linda, Sally, Sandy, Missy. Wow. Where to start. I am blown away and not able to grab my thoughts at the moment. Simply put, Ray was one of the nicest, best people I ever had the privilege to know. I know where he went, and I pray to God that I can end up in the same place so we can meet again. My sincere condolences. Love you guys. Steve Swidarski

To the Shaw women... deepest condolences to you all as you grieve the loss of your husband and father. What a great man. As I was telling Linda at the party on Saturday... my fondest memories of him are seeing him and your mom in their square dancing outfits... they always looked so sharp and happy and I remember being so excited when I got to take square dancing in the fifth grade. Your parents always made it look like so much fun! Blessings to you all. And ask my dad where he was when Ray transitioned... I'm sure it was the "Sal" in him that made it happen. :) And right behind the Monona golf course... hmmmmm

Never seen anyone who could keep their cool on the golf course like Ray. Going to miss his emails. John Goforth

When I was a little girl, my Uncle Ray used to keep me stocked with what he called "noodles" so that I could make pot holders to sell door to door. Guess he was trying to make me into a sales woman. Sorry, that didn't work! I loved having him as my Uncle and I'm sad knowing that he isn't on this earth any longer. But so grateful that he is reunited with his brothers and sister (my mom).
