Growing up my Mom & Dad called Shawn "Mr Magoo" and "The Cambell Soup Kid". Everytime I look at these and laugh because he does resemble The Cambell soup Kid a lot.
This is Shawn in his Dy-No-Mite hat. He went around saying that famous quote from the TV show Good Times.
Shawn got a Dy-no-mite Christmas Present! Ja Ja from the Good Times.
Shawn loved to fish. I remeber we use to go to Senneca Lake and there was a huge lake with tons of fish. I probably never caught, but Shawn did.
For Christmas, Shawn had gotten his very first motorcycle. Not to long after getting it he and another boy decided to play chicken and ended up crashing into one another. My dad had went to get him after someone came to tell us he had crashed on it. He carried him all the way down our lane, then put him on the couch and covered him up so my Mom wouldn't see him banged up.
Shawn loved the Boy Scouts, he had saved every medal he ever received. Some time following his death, we found the scarf and his Boy Scout handbook that he had saved.
