Joseph "Tom" T. Shaw

Joseph, "Tom", Thomas Shaw, 73, of Manchester, New Hampshire, passed on October 30, 2023. Joseph was born on October 30, 1950 to Cecil Edmond Shaw and Lucille (Caron) Shaw.

Joseph was a United States' Army Veteran who served 4 years in Vietnam and two years as an Army Reserve. Joseph was known to those who loved him most as gentle, yet industrious, and had a towering personality to match his 6'1" stature. He could light up a room with his infectious laugh and radiant smile. Described by his children as being firm, yet forgiving, a best friend, a continuous supporter, and the greatest soccer dad on the sidelines.

Joseph is grievously missed and survived by his wife and friend of 38 years, Patrice (Valliere) Shaw of Manchester, NH, his four children, Angela Cote of Pembroke, NH, Sean Shaw of Manchester, NH, Jaime Shaw and her significant other Tony Rosas of Manchester, NH, and Heather (Shaw) Parr and husband Joel Parr of Manchester, NH. Joseph is also survived by the band of grandchildren he loved so dearly: Michael Jutras, Nicholas Ligner, Autumn Gagne, Torin Shaw, Sullyann Oquendo, Cora Shaw, Noah Parr, and Leana Rosas. 

Per Joseph's wishes, no services will be held.
