Donna, our hearts were sadden to hear of the passing of Clyde. Archie worked for him at Laird packaging in Marion NC. He was a great manager, and always willing to listen when I had a problem. May God comfort you and your family as only he can.

My sympathy to you Mrs. Shaw, Scott, Steve and all of Mr. Shaw's family. It was my pleasure to get acquainted with you all through my fraternity brother Scott some 40 years ago and through our mutual friends Virginia and Bill Zachary of Marion; and in more recent years to become fellow parishioners in Raleigh with Steve and Cornelia. I'm glad you've had these 20 years to enjoy Savannah together. May the Peace of the Lord be with you all as you mourn Mr. Shaw's death and celebrate his life.

Donna, Clyde was such a good neighbor. What a trooper he was walking in the neighborhood, checking on our house and newspapers. He always had a nice word to say to our grand boys, stopping by with his grand boys. His kind and gentle ways, sense of humor, touched our hearts. We will never forget him. Sending you peace and love.
