We stopped by the American Legion (Castle Williams Post 105) to notify them of Selwyn's passing. They were helpful, kind and sympathetic and showed us wonderful hospitality. If you are in the area it wouldn't hurt to stop by and hoist a glass in Shaw's honor. http://castlewilliamspost105.org/Thanks,Sue & Rob
Uncle Selwyn was always a delight to visit and talk to. The thing I remembered most about my Uncle was his quick wit and his humor. He was also an opinionated person, and we all loved that about him. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sue and Selwyn Jr. and all of his grandchildren.John D. Polson and Family
Selene & Family,My heart breaks for you and your family for the loss of Mr Shaw. He was a gentle giant with a great personality and a story to tell. He was an amazing individual whom loved to talk about the war and other things that were on his mind. He always had a goal in life and that was to do what he wanted to do and pretty much did it. He was my dear client for over 24 years and I was honored to help him in any way I could. God bless you all in your safe travels back to your home. I will miss you Shaw!!!!
I delivered meals on wheels to Selwyn. What a treasure he was. He always had a smile, even on his bad days. I loved swapping war stories with him on his good days. He was one of my favorite clients. I am blessed to have known him a short time. Praying for his friends and family.
Our deepest sympathies go out to all of you. You can never imagine the impact Sel and Maggie had on me and my family. We always enjoyed getting cards with Sel's words of wisdom. Thank you for sharing him with us all these years. His Missouri family, Linda,Dracy, Addison, and Cameron
