Apparently he died in his hotel room on a business trip. I cannot be sadder. Russell was a fantastic guy&hellip; And he seemed to enjoy his work more than just about anyone I know. And he produced lots of it. He had a <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/regulations\/\">regulation blog<\/a> on TMCnet and on ZDnet he had a <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/ip-telephony\/\">VoIP <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/blackberry\/\">Blackberry <\/a>blog.<\/p>\n<p>Russell was not content to just write about subjects he loved, he also spoke at shows. He was a great moderator and also met with countless vendors at events he participated at.<\/p>\n<p>Russell also seemed to perform his tasks with an absence of ego. Although he had a great following, he didn&#8217;t ever let it go to his head. The TMCnet team will certainly miss Russell and his fantastic contributions.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately about a month ago, we also lost a member of our accounting team. Frank Macari worked for TMC for about 18 years and he was the ultimate gentleman, respectful and proper and an all around fantastic person.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to take this opportunity to say TMC and the world will miss both Russell and Frank&hellip; You were both great people to work with and our lives were better for having known you.<\/p>\n<p>\nSee Also:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permanent Link to Rest in peace Russell Shaw; We\u2019ll miss you\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/BTL\/?p=8233\" rel=\"bookmark\">Rest in peace Russell  Shaw; We&rsquo;ll miss you<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.com\/8301-13953_3-9894930-80.html\">We&#8217;ll miss Russell Shaw<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Permanent Link to Thanks for all the good times Russell, we\u2019ll miss you\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/mobile-gadgeteer\/?p=945\" rel=\"bookmark\">Thanks for  all the good times Russell, we&rsquo;ll miss you<\/a><br \/>\n<a id=\"p-1:AYeesOXYZSPA2i086-525A\" href=\"http:\/\/andyabramson.blogs.com\/voipwatch\/2008\/03\/russell-shaw-ri.html\">Russell  Shaw RIP<\/a><br \/>\n<a id=\"p-2:z_fj5EEsDlt4W3KJCmyIQg\" href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2008\/03\/16\/goodbye-old-friend-russell-shaw-rip\/\">Goodbye  old friend!
