Calvin High Shaw Jr.

August 30, 1943 - December 27, 2021

Calvin High Shaw, Jr., 78, of Louisville passed away Monday, December 27, 2021. Cal was born in Durham, North Carolina August 30, 1943, to the late Calvin High Shaw, Sr. and Josephin Erwin Russell Shaw. His admittance to Duke University was a natural fit given his fondness to his hometown. Later Cal would pursue his passion for the baseball diamond, eventually playing for the Chicago Cubs as a first baseman. Following a short tenure as a professional baseball player he would work in sales for Lithonia Lighting and was a mortgage banker for 15 years. He was an avid dancer, motorcyclist, and target shooter. He was the founder and president for ABA for ten years, which was a nationally recognized dancing organization. He is survived by his best friend and companion of 34 years, Liz DeSpain. Their dedication to each other leaves a legacy of love and devotion and he will be dearly missed. To honor his wishes, cremation was chosen. Ratterman and Sons, 3800 Bardstown Road has been entrusted with arrangements.
