Harry Richard Shaw, 73, of Greenbelt, Maryland and formerly of Springfield, Ohio passed away Friday, January 8, 2008 in the Doctor's Community Hospital in Lanham, Maryland.
He was born May 6, 1934 in Springfield, Ohio, the son of Harry and Leon (Mustar) Shaw.

Mr. Shaw is survived by his loving wife, Regina Shaw; one sister, Jean Ann Baldwin; two children, Michael and Katie and two grandsons, Benjamin and Abram Shaw.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one sister and one brother.
