Bill's obituary

Shaw, William Alfred “Bill” - It is with great sorrow that we announce Bill’s sudden passing at his home on August 23, 2021. He was predeceased by his parents Bob and Norah Shaw and his brother Peter. He is survived by siblings Anne, Chris and John. Bill was a graduate of Queen’s University and he dedicated his life to the study of Math and Physics. He will be missed by friends from Niagara Falls, The University of Toronto, Humber College and the badminton court at Trinity Bellwood’s as well as the many students that he tutored and friends that he met during his travels.

Knowledge is not only power; it is happiness, and being taught is the intellectual analog of being loved.”
―Issac Asimov
