John Bennett Shaw

Was a Sherlockian who people adore.

His impact is felt to this day

Because he was a rather fun sort of a person, or at least that's what people say.

John Bennett Shaw

Had a Holmesian attitude of "Open the door!" 

It is a strange thing to mourn someone you never knew

But I do.
