Our Dear Betty, Our love, thoughts, and prayers are with you and your family during this very sad time of your great loss. Bud Shaw was a great conservative of our time and a generous supporter of our nation. He was a giant of a man whose love of God, his family and his Country never wavered. You can be proud that your strength and support was always with Bud and now you can have no regrets for we are all better for his having been here. Love, Kay and Robin Jones
Dear Betty & Girls, I admired, appreciated and respected Bud Shaw … there is comfort knowing he knew it — but the sorrow and pain of his death is deeply shared at our house. We of the the military own him a great debt for his silent major contibuation to our National Defense and McConnell AFB. He leaves without the general public ever knowing what he accomplished with his Paul Revere Foundation. God bless you and keep you…Sincerely ‘Colonel Don’ Don & Will Gaylor
