June 10, 1956-August 8, 2022 Gerry grew up in Riverdale and started his chiropractic practice in 1981 in his childhood home on Post Road. As his practice grew he needed to find another location. It is with the help of Riverdale Kiwanian Real Estate Agent Morey Kahn that he found the location on Fieldston Road. According to his wife Nancy “we soon found out that the building at that time was owned by the father-in-law of East Yonkers Kiwanian Dr. George Kane. And when the building went coop it was Riverdale Kiwanian Robert Rubinstein who did they legal work. In his heyday he performed many community service projects for the club including organizing health fairs, preparing the gift baggies for the Halloween Window Painting Contest and composing the weekly newsletter.” Dr. Shaw was a past president of the club and most recently served on the Board. The Shaw family requests that donations in his name be made out to:
Kiwanis Club of Riverdale P. O. Box 711 Ardsley NY 10502-0711
Kiwanis Club of Riverdale has set up a scholarship in memory of Dr. Gerald Shaw. Please contact our scholarship Chair Richard Peterson if you would like to participate.
