It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ken Shaw of Airdrie, Alberta on Friday, April 11th, 2014 at the age of 67 years. Ken was born and raised in Montreal and moved to Airdrie in 1980 with his wife, Claudette and daughter, Kelly. He worked for Nortel for over 30 years. Ken was passionate about horses, he raised (and raced) thoroughbreds. His most important role though came as a grandfather to his three grandchildren, who loved him dearly. Ken is survived by his wife, Claudette Shaw; daughter, Kelly Campbell (Eric); Grandchildren, Blake, Owen and Charleigh Campbell; and brother, Stephen Shaw (Diane). A Celebration of Ken's Life will be held on Wednesday, April 16th from 1:30 - 3:30pm at the Woodside Senior Centre, 411 Woodside Drive NW, Airdrie, AB. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ken's memory can be made to The Salvation Army Community Services (Calgary), 420-9th Avenue SE, Calgary, Alberta T2G 0R9, Registration No. 107951618RR0130.

My deepest sympathy to the Shaw family. Ken was a good friend when we worked together at Nortel and since. He will be dearly missed.
I was so sad to hear today of Kenny's passing. We grew up together at Lac L'Achigan since my famiily moved there when I was 4. Many, many fun summers with our extended gang of the boys and the girls. Will always remember Kenny's quiet senses of humour and his great blond hair! My sincerest sympathy to his wife, Claudette, daughter Kelly and all the family as well as to brother Stevie and Diane.
I wish to express my sincere condolences on Ken's passing. I worked with Ken at Nortel here in Calgary for many years.
Condolences and sincere sympathy to the Shaw family. Good racing in the Big White Yonder, Ken! We will miss you.xs
So sad to hear of Kenny's passing way too early. I grew up with him in Montreal and was best friends with Ken's brother Stevie in grade school and high school. Heard of sad news from Brian Brownie just today. Condolences to the Shaw family.
My condolences to the Shaw family. I knew Ken because, like him, I am a Nortel retiree. Ken worked hard on behalf of Nortel retirees who reside in Western Provinces. Ken respected input, He dealt with questions with detailed attention and, where appropriate, with humor. For me he was the voice at the end of a phone line. I appreciated the way he gave his time to others: I am sure that he will be missed by his Nortel collegues. Thanks Ken for your kindness and for your leadership. Tony Smith, Kelowna, BC
Sincere sympathy and condolences to Ken's family. We will truly miss his friendship.
As I was touching the past after a number of years, I was truly saddened to see the loss of someone I had some good conversations. Vibrant and the offer of a chuckle... I Hope and know he is remembered by many. Thanks Ken...
