Rondo Shaw St. George, Utah Our beloved husband, father and PaPa, Rondo Nord Shaw, slept peacefully into the next life Thursday, July 13, 2006, after a long courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma. He was surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren at his bedside. He was born June 2, 1941 to Richard Lynn Shaw and Fern Larsen Nordfelt in Aurora, UT. He was sealed in the Salt Lake Temple to Anna LaRee Tolman August 9, 1963. He was called to the North British Mission in 1960 then transferred to the Scottish/Irish Mission. In 1962, he was transferred to the newly organized Irish Mission under President Stephen R. and Sandra Covey. He had a special love for the Irish Saints and returned several times since his mission. He has been a faithful member of The Shamrock Society for over 42 years. The Shamrock Society has supported several Irish Saints to serve missions that would otherwise not have the opportunity. He was a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings. He served as counselor in the Bishopric and High Counselor in the Taylorsville Stake. He especially loved working with the youth and in the athletic programs. He had a love for all sports, especially basketball, baseball, and volleyball. He was the "spark plug" of the basketball team at North Sevier High School. He loved hunting, fishing, horseback riding, traveling, and spending time with his family. Rondo was an exceptionally talented young man. Growing up in a large family, on a farm taught him the values of hard work. He was co-owner of Bonanza Construction and Supreme Carpets for many years.
