Three generations of prosthetic care, since 1957
Shamp Bionics began back in 1936 when Norm Shamp became a
bi-lateral amputee. Patient care was less than adequate early in
prosthetics, which embedded in Norm the belief that amputees should not
be treated like second class citizens. In 1957, with meticulous skills and a
practice which focused heavily on patient care, Norm started his first
company, Shamp Artificial Limb. The company grew and changed
locations, and in the 60's became Shamp Prosthetic Orthotic Center. It was
at that time when George, Joe and Dan adopted the same standard of great
patient care. Another generation, a new name with a new location, leading
edge technology mixed with a small family atmosphere, still holding the
standard of great patient care, and serving all of our patients needs the
same way Norm did 46 years ago, Shamp Bionics is taking after its roots.
Shamp Bionics is conveniently located off I-77 at the Arlington Road exit.

Norman E. Shamp, beloved husband of Joan R. Shamp, passed away
peacefully at his home in Punta Gorda, Florida surrounded by his family as
they gathered for his 91st birthday celebration.
Having overcome traumatic bilateral lower limb amputations as a teenager,
he went onto become a leader in the field of prosthetics and an inspiration
to countless others who were facing similar challenges. In 1957, he
established The Shamp Artificial Limb Company in Barberton, which later
became Shamp Prosthetic-Orthotic Centers throughout northeast Ohio, a
practice later joined by his three sons and daughter-in-law.
He served as one of the founding members of the Ohio Chapter of the
American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists and the Amputee
Opportunities Unlimited Foundation as well as other groups that
encouraged an active lifestyle for individuals with acquired amputations.
Two generations still serve in that profession: son Joe (Director of
Prosthetic Services, Veterans Administration, Tampa, Florida); grandson
Joe (Prosthetist-Orthotist, Fort Smith, Arkansas); and grandson Mark
(Prosthetist, President of Shamp Bionics, Akron, Ohio).
As a loving husband, father and patriarch to five generations, he found
great joy in his family who carry on his legacy: sons Arch, Joe (Nancy) and
Dan (Joanne); daughter Patty Stipe; 19 grandchildren and a multitude of
great, and great-great grandchildren. In addition, he loved and was loved
by the family of his devoted wife Joan. He was preceded in death by his son
George, daughter-in-law Norma, son-in-law Jim Stipe, and former wife Bess.
A private memorial service will take place in Florida. The family
recommends memorials to any organization that serves the health or
rehabilitation needs of the Akron community.
