Robert Lee Shaw

Robert Lee Shaw, 80, of Farmington, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 17, 2016 in Farmington. He was born on April 2, 1936 to Harold and Ruth Shaw, in Gunnison, CO.
Bob affectionately known as "The Schnauzer Man". You may have seen him in recent times walking his dog Buddy and CiCi in the area between 20th St and Main with a smile on his face and a passion for telling a story to anyone who would listen. He was a hardworking man who held many jobs in Denver, CO and Farmington, NM to support his family. Finally in the 70's, he got a job as a lineman with APS in Phoenix, AZ where he spent the next 29 years building his dreams. He loved animals of all kinds, the great outdoors, racing stock cars, building houses and would help anyone in need. He will be missed by many and is surely smiling down on his family from his shade tree in heaven.
Robert is preceded in death by his daughter, Jeannie Shaw; parents, Harold and Ruth Shaw; brothers, Dick, Donald, and Harold Jr. Shaw.
Robert is survived by his sons, Robert Lee Shaw Jr. of Sacramento, CA and Greg Lingor of Denver, CO; brother, Elvin "Tom" Shaw(Sue) of Tucson, AZ; sisters, Mary Soper of Washington and Jean Nussbaum of Medford, OR; grandchildren, Jared and Virginia Shaw; great-grandchildren, Jayden, Brooklyn, Zachary Shaw of Aztec NM.
