Patrick Joseph Shaw of East Hampton was a man of many talents, but what really stands out about him, his family said, was his love for his three sons and “his constant support of their sporting events.” He coached them in hockey and never missed their lacrosse practices or games.
Mr. Shaw, described by his family as “a fighter” who “overcame several bouts of cancer and heart disease,” died on July 21 at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. He was 66.
A self-employed carpenter, he was a skilled woodworker and artist who also enjoyed gardening, cooking, and clamming, and had a quick wit.
Mr. Shaw was born in Patchogue on July 20, 1960, to James and Kathleen Shaw. He grew up in Shirley and graduated from William Floyd High School.
He and the former Kimberly LaCarrubba were married on Sept. 24, 1989.
They raised their three boys in East Hampton.
His wife survives, as do his sons: Ryan Shaw of Tequesta, Fla., Tyler Shaw of Amagansett, and Cole Shaw of Delray Beach, Fla. Mr. Shaw is also survived by a grandson, Shepard Joseph Shaw, and by three siblings, Daniel Shaw, Kathleen Fullam, and Christine Wood.
A service will be held on Aug. 9 at noon at the Navy Road pier in Montauk.
