I am very sad to report that my long time friend Don Shaw AKA Gone Fishin passed away last Tuesday from cancer

Don was a member of the MBBA sense it's start in the 50's and fought for our rights for beach access he loved bring on the beach and fishing

I am going to miss him dearly, he always had a great story

Please say a prayer for his wife and family

No way. So sad to hear this. What a gentleman and fellow MBBA member. Pretty sure Don had the lowest member number still active. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.

Ohh, no. Godspeed, Don. You were truly a great man, and the earth a better place under your feet.

Sad to hear Bob! I remember well crossing paths so many times with Don and his lovely wife Barbara at Race Point as we chased fish and solitude. Don was a great guy and he will be missed around here. Condolences to his wife Barbara and his family and friends.

That really and truly sucks.....he was such an awesome guy. I would always see him at the Plum Island events. If somebody could please post the arrangements that would be much appreciated.

Epitomized dignity and Class. True gentleman.

Ross, after I joined S-B, he was the first guy off of here that I met in person. I bumped into him on the beach at PI.....talked to him for about 20 minutes, he gave me one of his plugs.....such a super guy.
