"A FATHER holds his children's hands for a while…their hearts forever." It is with deep sadness that the family announces the unexpected passing of Clarence Jerdon Shaw on Aug. 30, 2015, with his loving family by his side. He was born on Jan. 3, 1933 to the late Oran and Ella (Prosser) Shaw in Woodstock NB and lived most of his life in Keswick NB.

Clarence is survived by his children; Brian, Judy Jenkins, Tony (Cathy), Murray McCartney (Monique), Llew McCartney, Allison McCartney, Marilyn Brewer (Brian) and James McCartney, grandchildren; Michelle, Breanna, Julia, Andrew, Chris, Laura, Michael, Stephen, Darwin, several great grandchildren, 2 sisters; Velzora McClary, Audrey Legere, 2 brothers; Earl and Colby, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Besides his parents, Clarence was predeceased by his loving wife and best friend, Iva (Graham) Shaw, brothers; Ora and James, sisters; Doris, Stella, Arleen and Winnifred.

Clarence's passion was his faith in God. He loved to attend church and enjoyed the fellowship of the friends he met, whom were many. He loved his family, cooking, sewing, weekend road trips and a good cup of coffee.  Clarence enjoyed reading the bible, singing and playing his guitar.
