I worked for Ray at Dow Jones. After I had been in the company less than a year, the craziness of my situation got to me and I accepted a position back with my old company. Ray heard about this and, though he was about 10 levels above me, sought me out and convinced me to stay with the company. It turned out to be the right decision for me. I always felt DJ began slipping as a company the day Ray Shaw left.g

Ray Shaw and his sons, Whit and Kirk, are the type of people you want to work for your entire career. When they named me editor of NASCAR Winston Cup Scene in January 1993 it was a professional dream come true, but it was their caring for you as a person that made it a fantastic place to work. Ray always had time to talk with you and he was truly interested in your well being, as well as the publication for which you worked. He appreciated and encouraged family. During my first year as Scene's editor, he wanted to make sure my parents could attend the races at Charlotte while I was working, so he hired a limo to transport them from my house to the track and provided them with seats in our company suite. When Alan Kulwicki was killed, the Shaws made sure I was able to get to Wisconsin for Alan's funeral. Ray Shaw was the type of man you would gladly work long hours for because you knew he supported you and you never wanted to let him down. His death is a tremendous blow to his family and the publishing business. Even though I had not spoken with him since 2003 when I left as Scene's editor, I thought of him often and I will miss him.
