Charles Shaw Obituary

Dear Cindy and family,

I just heard about your dad and am so sad and sorry, what a great man, my prayers are with you, your family and mom.

Love,

Lyn Polydoris George

Last year, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw treated the entire 7th and 8th grades to "A Christmas Carol" at the Goodman Theatre. It was such a privilege. We were so lucky to have had Mr. Shaw in our lives. We are thinking about you and praying for your family everyday.

I will miss Mr. Shaw and I'm sure that many others will miss him too and I thank him for all of the great things he did for me and my school.

To the Shaw Family:

I am truly sorry for your loss. Mr Shaw was a beloved patron of Our Lady of the Westside Catholic School. He will be dearly missed by everyone.

Dear Shaw Family,

We will miss Mr. Shaw. He has helped us alot here at Our Lady of the Westside. So we would like to thank him for all he has done for us. We will keep you all in our prayers.

Bev and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss at this time. Mark and I have nothing but good memories about Bev and Charlie and all your help and fun.

Please know that we are thinking of you in this hard time.

We are sorry we were unable to attend the funeral, but know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Cathy, Mrs. Shaw and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss; our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. We were not able to attend the funeral last night but will see you soon. Please know our deepest sympathies are with your family during this time. His legacy will live on through all of you. Sincerely, Denise and Marty

Dear Courtney and Mrs. Shaw,



I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the funeral today. Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers, and my heart goes out to you in your time of grief.



I will always remember "Mr. Shaw" and his fantastic, ever-present smile. His motivation to teach and inspire a group of young girls during Saturday morning basketball or softball is something I will never forget.



He was a great man, and I feel lucky to know that he touched a part of my life.



Fondly,

Dear Courtney,



My condolences to you and your family during this hard time. I remember how close you were to your dad and remember him fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your mom and your family.

Dear Shaw Family: Charlie's sudden passing came as a surprise to us both. We have many fond memories on Earlston Rd. Our deepest sympathies.

To the entire Shaw Family:

Our Condolences to you in the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. He was a great person and he will be remembered with many memories, mostly in my childhood years.

Dear Bev and family, I was saddened to read the news of your husband and father's death. Although I haven't seen you in quite a few years I remember fondly our work and conversations. You were a great support to me when I needed a boost! I hope that you feel some support at this time from all of your family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless all of you!

Dear Cindy, Bill, Amanda, and Chas, How very sad we are for you all. We feel blessed to have met your grandfather, Amanda, at your graduation party in June. We enjoyed sharing conversation on a variety of common interests, including our love of Fire Island, and we left the party knowing that our strong bond with the Wirenes was even stronger. We love you.

Courtney and Joe -- we had the privilege of meeting your father at your graduation and your wedding. What a kind and gracious man with a strong commitment to his family. We know that he will be missed by your family and many others.

My sincere condolences to the Shaw family.... The absence of Charles' talents, accomplishments, and ethics will be a void difficult to fill in our "profession" but certainly a template for newcomers to emulate....respectfully,Marv Romanek

We are thinking of you down here in Brookeville, Maryland. My life has been truly enhanced by my friendship with Cathy and through her my friendship with the entire Shaw family. Cathy's father, the inimitable Charles Shaw, was dynamic and charismatic and a role model to us all. He will be missed. Cathy, I will see you this week. All my love, Margaret

Dear Cathy and my little pal Jack,

My heart is with you today and always. Thank you for sharing your Love and Friendship over the years, with the loyalty you emulate from your parents.

On behalf of the entire extended Ready family I want to send our prayers and thoughts your way. We know how shocked you all are and will hold you close to our hearts in the weeks to come.

His loss will be great for all of you and for his friends, colleagues and for the city of Chicago. Love, Gail

Condolences to Charlie's wife, Beverly, and his kin. Charlie has left a large imprint on Luther Village where Spouse Nona and I live. His skill in gathering the experts and wherewithall to make Luther Village a reality is worth memorializing.

Dear Bev, children and grandchildren,

Thinking of you and working on flights. Love Margie and Harry

Our prayers and sympathies are with the Shaw family during this tragic time. Charlie's life journey has been philantropic, productive,loving,generous,and fun-loving. But, more than anything, it has been family-oriented. The setting of his death is a cruel irony, but the ski slope is just another step along this beautiful path. His spirit will live on, guiding all who have been blessed by his love, friendship or mere acquaintance. He will be missed, but he will be with us always.

Love-Jamie, Neal, Karl, Jodie & Matt
