Former Georgia Tech All-American and Pro Football Hall of Famer Billy Shaw passed away today surrounded by his family.
A legend for the Jackets before going on to play several years with the Buffalo Bills during a great pro career (played for the Bills as part of the AFL). You'll see his name on the front of the upper deck at Bobby Dodd Stadium as a Georgia Tech Hall of Famer.
I got to meet Mr. Shaw and talk to him a few times during my time covering sports for the Calhoun Times. His son-in-law Chip Henderson was the Calhoun High baseball coach who won multiple state championships and is in the Calhoun-Gordon County Sports Hall of Fame himself. Great family, prayers out to them!
