It's with deep sadness we learn of the passing of Eric. He will be sorely missed. He had a very full and rewarding life. His service in the 14th Army in Burma is just one indication of his caring work for others.

Although I hardly knew you in the last 26 years of my life you will be sorely missed. I am proud to have learned of your achievements through your life whilst talking with you and having just read Dads eulogy to you. Rest in peace now you are with Nannan, your memory will live on.

I am sorry to hear this sad news. Mr Shaw..as we all referred to him..taught me so much about STI's in the 70's-80's and what he didn't know about microscopy wasn't worth knowing. We had the 'odd' ups and downs at work, but, he was a good nursing officer, tutor and friend. My condolences go to his family and friends, old and new alike, in the UK and Australia. Rest in Peace.

I worked with the famous 'Mr Shaw' at the Royal Infirmary in Sheffield.
As Ann Williams has said...what he didn't know about venereology and microscopy wasn't worth knowing. Good boss, teacher and manager. Strict, but we could wind him round our little fingers (sometimes!!!).
I'm glad we met up for a meal in 92/93 when you came back to visit England.
Rest in peace, Mr Shaw, with your beloved wife and son.
Love Jackie xx

Jeanette and I would like to pass our condolences to Michael, Andrew and their families. Eric's death is a blow to me for many reasons -- not least that he is the last of his generation, which means that I am the eldest surviving members of the next generation -- something that makes me both proud and a little nervous...
Eric was a fine man, a Yorkshireman, a straight-talker, a person who would turn up unannounced at our house on a Sunday morning and stand and chat while my father dug the potatoes and my mother struggled with the Yorkshire pudding.
He realised like everyone what a wonderful partner he had in Miriam -- and I remember vividly the first time he brought her to Rotherham and the shock she felt at traveling through the smoke and grime of the factories between Sheffield and Rotherham...
I would like to take this opportunity of repeating my condolences to Michael and his family -- and of extending them to Andrew and Pat and their own family. Eric was proud of all of them, indeed of us all. And with a eulogy such as Michael has posted, we will all be doubly proud of Eric.
Peter.
