East Tenn. law officer retires, dies after leaving work

HAMBLEN COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) - An East Tennessee community is mourning the loss of a well-known law enforcement officer. 

Hamblen County Deputy Stan Shaw had his last day of work on Friday before retiring after 50 years in law enforcement. 

“He was going to go enjoy his wife and dog, and fishing with me and my husband and kids and woodworking and stuff,” Rhea Shaw Grebenik, his daughter, said.

We had a guy retire out at the warehouse only to die of a heart attack a week later. He had the required time in and retired fairly early, saying he worked hard all his life and wanted to enjoy some of it before he died.
It came out later that he'd taken 3 or 4 Viagra over a couple days, so I guess he really was enjoying life.
