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.

Mrs Shaw, I am so sorry to learn about Dr. Shaw's passing. I have many childhood memories of Dr Shaw as my dentist and working in the back yard or garage. I will make a contribution to the church in Dr Shaw's memory. Please give my sympathies to the entire family. Danny Paul

Norma Jean and family, I was so sorry to hear that Bill passed away. You were such a part of my dad's ministry at St. Andrew's and are remembered very fondly. God be with you as you mourn and continue on without "Doc Shaw". Peace, Jean (Hrabovsky) Ask

I am so sorry to hear about Bill Shaw's passing. I've been a good friend to Norma Jean over the past several hears as one of her golf buddies. Dr Shaw was a doting husband. I got a kick out of him following us around as we golfed - he just couldn't stay away from Norma! He will be sadly missed.
