SHERMAN SHAW "drives on"
When days of jogging come to park
And wheels of life no longer spin,
Your loving memory will light the dark
When stable colors fade and dim.
We only hope that we can convey
Your same warm smile, your winning way . . .
It is our memorial trophy.
Sherman Shaw died on September 14, 1973, at age sixty-one, on his return flight home from the Mayo Clinic. His long fight with leukemia was ended. Sherm is survived by his wife Francis (sic) of R.R. 1, Box 222, Dixon, IL; sister Mrs. Baylor of Lee Center, IL; daughter Delores (sic) and four grandsons of Pekin, IL. Sherman Shaw showed winning Shetland roadster and hand ponies throughout the midwest (sic). "Larigo's Radiant Rhythm" and "Widow's Son" (a pony the Shaws raised) were both Shetland roadsters 43"-46". Sherm's 50" Hackney roadster "King" completed the string. This year Sherm served as a Board member of the Midwest Shetland Roadster Club. We wish to extend our sympathy to those who loved Sherm. He will be missed by those who knew and admired him for his courage and ever so warm personality.
