Bradford William Shaw Jr., 67, of Lake Forest, IL, passed away on Friday, June 4, 2010 at the Palliative Care Center at Evanston Hospital, in Evanston, IL. Born to Bradford William Shaw and Grace Patricia, nee Pastor, on August 11, 1942 in Oak Park, IL, Brad graduated from Notre Dame HIgh School in Niles, IL and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. In 1963, Brad joined the investment firm of John Nuveen & Company as a municipal bond trader. Brad had a long successful career with Nuveen, serving in a variety of senior leadership roles and ultimately retiring in 2000, after 37 years with the firm. Brad had a zest for life and truly enjoyed spending time with his family and many wonderful friends. The lives of those he touched are a reflection of his love and devotion to doing his best at the many roles he had in his life – husband, dad, friend, coach, grandpa, uncle, businessman, and avid sports fan. Brad is survived by his beloved wife of almost 20 years, Ann, nee Myer, and their son, Andrew; his first wife, Katherine, nee Meierhoff, and their three children, Bradford III (Margo), Jennifer, and Erica (Daniel) Galligan; his sister, Barbara (James) Werlein; his five grandchildren, Willem, Quinn, Charles, Bradford IV, and Oliver; and many beloved nephews and nieces.
