He spent many years working with his parents in their family business before owning his own family business. Shep had a love for his customers and conversation especially if it involved his beloved Hurricanes or Dolphins. He loved spending time with family and friends especially during BBQ’s. For many years he was an active member of Temple Adath Yeshurun, later Beth Torah Adath Yeshurun.
