Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Your assailant may have never been caught and brought to justice but he/she surely faced a higher justice at a later time. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

As far as I know, we did not have a choice as to when we entered this world. Most of us never know or have a choice as to when we leave it either, but in between the alpha and the omega we do have choices. We can do good things or we can do bad things. I thank God, there are still more good people in this world than bad, even though bad things happen to good people who try to do some good. I pray all our sisters and brothers in blue who tried to do good and paid the ultimate price, rest in peace and forever be remembered.

Now their is a Shaw Avenue Elementary School on Shaw Avenue in Valley Stream.. I wonder if the street was named after this brave officer. I think it's wonderful that the Grandchildren know about him and carry on his story... May he rest in peace....

I never got the chance to know you Grampa, as you gave theuprimate sacrifice when my mother, your daughter Joan was only 5. But she told me all about you. I have your pictures and Mums stories.....I was so proud to tell my family your story. Mum's up there with you now.....I sure wish you could have known you grand children and your great grandchildren. I wear the wedding ring you gave my Nana Margaret McGrath.....with the inscription engraved on the inside...and I still have your badge. Thank you so much for your service. I love you.

I said a little prayer today for Patrolman Shaw and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

We are approaching the 67th anniversary of your senseless and tragic murder. How sad it is for your family and ALL police officers that your killer escaped justice on this earth. I am confident that while you are "walking a beat on the Golden Street" in Heaven, the people who were responsible for your death have been sentenced to eternity in hell.
