It is with great sorrow that the family announces that James “Jim” Sinclair Shaw passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Meaford Hospital on January 5, 2023 in his 85th year. He was predeceased by the love of his life, his wife of 50 years, Helen Vivian Shaw (nee Campbell) in 2011.

Born in Markdale, Jim lived in the Boland Homestead at Vandeleur until 1947 when his family moved to Markdale. He was a dedicated member of the community, owning the Markdale Meat Market from 1965 until 1977. He was a Kinsman, a Mason, a volunteer, an elder at Annesley United Church, and a member of Town Council, serving as Deputy Reeve from 1990-1994. The family would like to thank the staff at Meaford Hospital for their kind and diligent care in his final days of life.
