Dr. William “Bill” Summers Shaw III, D.D.S., age 80 of Upper St. Clair, PA passed away on Saturday, May 23, 2020. Born on April 9, 1940, he was the son of the late Margaret and William S. Shaw, II. Beloved husband to Norma Jean Davis Shaw. Loving father to Jennifer (Rick) Letterman, Heather (Brian) Crawford, Stephanie (Mike) Brown and Bill (Kristen) Shaw. Cherished pap to Ben, Blake, Rachael, Sarah, Zachary, Grant and Luke.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Fred Shaw.

Bill was born and raised in East Carnegie. He graduated from Thiel College and married his high school sweetheart in 1962. He then attended Dental School at Case Western Reserve and graduated in 1966. He proudly served his country on active duty in the Air Force in Illinois before moving back home to Pittsburgh. Bill established his dental practice in Greentree and he was well loved and respected by his patients for all of his 51 years of practice. He took great pride in designing his home and his prize winning Koi pond, of which he won the Pittsburgh Garden Contest in 2008.  Bill’s favorite hobbies are his cars, especially his Porsche and 280 ZX and playing golf with his friends who called him “sweet ole Bill.” He will be dearly missed by all. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was more than my Dr., he was also a friend. Give the entire family our sympathy. Gary and Nancy Kuehn

Dear Mrs. Shaw, This is a voice from the long ago past. Bill and Fred and I spent a lot of time together before my family and I moved from East Carnegie in 1950. My father was pastor at St. Andrew's from 1947-1950. Fred was the "reckless" one but Bill managed to get the broken arm and the bruises and contusions. Good memories and good times. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family, and pray for God's comforting presence now and in the weeks ahead. Sincerely, Bill Hauser

Dear Norma Jean & Family, I just heard today of Bill's passing. He was my dentist for over two decades. Bill always took care of me even if it was an emergency situation. Above all, he was a good friend. We played many rounds of golf together. I'll miss him. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. D.J. Song

Dr. Shaw was a very cool guy, that I always respected. Sorry that I have not seen him for years. But was glad to here the story my brother told me about fishing with him not to long ago. Sorry to hear of his passing.
