I am so sorry for the loss of my brother who I loved dearly, my thoughts and prayers go out to his children and grandchildren, he was a very caring man who would think twice about helping another person out, I will miss him so very much. Much love to the Family
Karen Wightman says
Rob was such a great guy. A good father and husband. I met Rob in 1990, me and his daughter Selena became best friends for life. And I’m so honored to have met Selena and her family. Rob was like a second dad to me and I will miss him deeply. RIP dad/rob.
Becky says
Praying for Peace and Comfort for his family through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The Proctor Family says
My deepest condolences to all of Rob’s family. We pray that you find peace and comfort in your memories together.
We were his neighbours for 9 years during which time he never hesitated to lend a hand, keep an eye out for us, bring a gift for the kids or start a friendly chat. He will be missed and our community will definitely never be the same.

It’s sad to here that Rob is gone that’s the name I knew him by. I just happened to stumble across this obituary Robert was a good friend who often offered advice to me about the mistakes I was making in my relationship with his daughter Maria. I enjoyed the same kinds of things as Rob working on cars going crazing on a Friday night with the hot rods. He helped me out when I messed up my life when nobody else would. I would be stranded with nowhere to go and Rob would come get me and help me out. He was like a second father to me who I enjoyed spending time with. He tried to help me fix the mistakes I was making in my life by talking to me and trying to make me understand what I was loosing which was his daughter and her kids that I loved like my own. There isn’t a single day in my life that I don’t think about that family and what wonderful people they were they were carrying and helpful and always there for each other. I was proud to almost be Rob’s son in law nobody could ever ask for a better family to marry into but that didn’t happen. Rob was both my councilor and my friend. It’s truly sad to hear that he’s gone, just wish I would have found out about it sooner and wish somebody would have sent me a message or something. Rob I’ve missed you and your advice for the last 6 years and am truly sad to here your gone good bye my friend and to Maria sorry to hear about this on Google. It popped up when I Google my Shaw account. I miss your whole family and I’m sad for your loss I truly am. Like I said I think about your whole family everyday and wish you all the best.

It’s crazy to think that it’s been almost one year since I Lost my “Paps”! I miss You everyday Paps… This past year has been the hardest year in my entire life!!! When I lost my Mama December 28th 2018 bless her beautiful soul, I truly wasn’t sure I would make it through the days, months or years without her here with us! But With My Paps just a phone call away to talk, a short drive away to see, I knew my life without my Mama would still be a little easier to get through because I had You DAD!!!! You always knew what to say regardless if I wanted to hear it or not, Or Agreed with You or Not, you weren’t shy or quiet about speaking what was on your mind always! We never lied to each other or kept secrets from one another! You wanted to choke me out most days because of choices I made in my life, but hey I wanted to do the same to You! LOL… and a few times we did :).
We had we best Love Hate relationship between a Father and Daughter that no one but Us will ever understand! We were My teacher, My Listener, My healer and My keeper! You never judged Me… ok well maybe just a little… lol! I learned to take Your criticism with the utmost respect! For it was those moments that meant the most to Me! You were being real! Not a shit talker just a shot caller! Always calling me on my bullshit! Say it how You saw it kind of DAD!!! No sugar coating added! Just You! Crazy and True!!!! But through all are squabbling and ranting and raving, we had a bond that no one could ever break or take even when they tried! We always found away back together, laughing about fighting! And boy did we ever have some good laughs Paps! We would laugh so hard we would CRY and sometimes pee a lil! Well maybe Me!!! I couldnt help it, We would laugh so hard I couldn’t breathe, Crying stop it hurts, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard, I swear My stomach muscles would hurt for days from laughing so hard!
The good ol days 😉
Yuk a fluks! Loud Music and Fast Cars!!!
That was My DAD!
Work hard Party Harder! And having a
JOB!!!!!
That was My dad’s Mato! He swore to live By everyday!
Not only was Rob Shaw My Dad/Paps He was the awesomenessest Grandpa Ever! He and My Mama cared for my children at the times when I couldnt and for that I am truly grateful! My Kids Jaydence, James and Jocelyn Calliou not only saw U as Gramps! They consider You as a Father I guess thats where the name Grandfather came from! You loved them and cared for them and taught them and faught with them! But no matter what we always knew we Could count on You to always be there when we needed You! Not a day goes by that I dont stare up to heaven asking God Why! Why my parents, why so soon! So many things We still needed to do, places to go, people to see! Like walking me down the Aisle if I ever get married, meeting more grandchildren and great grandchildren! So much to see, so little time to see it! And Now You are Gone in 60 seconds! Just a memory!!! Its hard to say goodbye bye, because goodbye is the end! So instead I’ll see U in my dreams! Day and Night!! I’m always dreaming! I hear your laughs, I see your Smile! I wipe My tears, cause We won’t be together for awhile!!! My Heart is aching, feels like it’s breaking! Hands are Shaking, I’m not Faking! You were both taken! Up in Heaven Your Both there Waiting!
Watching! Listening! Guiding! You were My Parents on Earth! now You are my Angels in the Universe! Our Peace Keepers! Within My Soul, You will always be Near! For You are my Birth Givers! Chosen by The CREATOR! Without You I wouldn’t be HERE!
I’ve never been more sincere!
When I say I’m Saddened Your Not HERE!
but One day I’ll be THERE!
but for now I’m needed HERE!
I THANK GOD you are both still NEAR!
I LOVE YOU BOTH SO DEAR!
but TOGETHER MY PARENTS YOU BOTH,
will always BE!
FOREVER YOU ARE BOTH TOGETHER!
HAPPIER THAN EVER!
SOARING THROUGH THE HEAVENS,
I Can finally feel INNER PEACE knowing neither of YOU are suffering!
No More Pain, No more Pills, No more Doctors!
a NEW & IMPROVED YOU! SHINING DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS UP ABOVE!
May PEACE always be with YOU BOTH!
