Chapter 6 - A Few Goodbyes
In 1973, Albert Shaw retired and Warren's wife Nancy left her job as
a
cafeteria worker in the Dracut Schools and assumed Albert's
bookkeeping
responsibilities and store management. At about the same time Warren
,Shaw Jr.
and Walter Biedron, Jr. became full time employees of the farm.
In 1975 Mark Shaw, Jr. passed away. His life long commitment to the
farm
was felt by all who attended his services as he had left
instructions
for his funeral precession to pass through the store drive way and
stop
for a moment of reflection. He is buried along with other Shaw
family
members on the edge of the farm
Several small additions were built to the store and to the bottling
plant during the late 70’s and early 80's as sales in the new store
continued to grow. Fat free milk sales began to grow at about this
time, and a market had to be found for the cream.
Albert Shaw passed away in 1982 having sold his share of the
business to
Warren Sr. For an entire lifetime he had overseen the processing and
delivering of Shaw Farm products along with the responsibility of
paying
the bills.
