Richard Edmund Shaw
Richard "Dick" E. Shaw, 81, a longtime resident of Franklin, died on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at Concord Hospital in Concord with his family by his side. He was born on June 4, 1939 in Wolfeboro, the son of the late Harold and Eleanor (Whitman) Shaw. Richard was a U.S. Air Force Veteran. He was employed for many companies throughout his life, working for the New York Sanitation Department, Pike Industries, Alcan, Gilbert Block and finally retired from Polyclad in 2004.
Dick loved all kinds of sports, in his younger years he pitched for the Air Force and later at Mitchel Field which is now Nassau Coliseum for the farm league of the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was a lefty but had an accident and lost one of his fingers, ending his pitching career. Dick was well known for his quick wit. In his free time, he enjoyed tinkering in his tool shed. He had many loves in his life: his wife, his children, sports and fishing were at the top of his list.
