Robert Shaw

Robert Glen Shaw was born June 13, 1924 in Fosston , MN to Glen and Louise (Schmelz) Shaw. He grew up and graduated from high school in Frazee , MN . After graduation, he farmed with his parents and hauled cream for the Frazee Creamery.

Bob was united in marriage to Helen Johnson July 1, 1946 in Frazee. They farmed their own dairy farm south of Frazee until 1963 when health issues forced him to choose a different career.

Bob attended the Detroit Lakes Business College , after which they moved to Fergus Falls , MN where he served as the deputy county assessor and as Otter Tail County Treasurer. They later moved to St. Paul , MN and then to Vancouver and Olympia , WA where he was a right-of-way appraiser for the respective highway departments. They retired in 1984 and spent their summers at their lake home near Brainerd , MN and their winters RV’ing mostly near New Braunfels , TX .

In 2000 they moved back to a new home in the town that, in their hearts, they never really left – Frazee. Bob has been a resident of the Frazee Retirement Center for the past several years.

Bob’s heart was always with the soil, as a farmer and as the keeper of beautiful yards at the various places where they lived. He loved his yards and plants, traveling, golf, friends and family.
