Barb,  I was so sorry to hear about Shep's  passing.  Words can;t express how we feel at times like this but know you are in my prayers.   Rick tells me your grandson lives upstairs and that  is a good thing.  I     can't come to the services but if there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to call me.

Love and prayers,

I cannot say anything that will ease your grief and sense of loss. Know that I always enjoyed spending time with Shep both at Stillwater and on the golf course. He will be missed by all of that I am certain. I regret I will not be able to attend the services in person, please know I am there in spirit.

I first met Shep in January of 1988 when I was hired as a secretary at SLU Physical Plant.  I was a quiet 27 year old and very nervous.  Shep was one of my supervisors. He was very soft spoken, friendly and made me feel welcome. He was one of the greatest supervisors I have had at SLU.  Condolences to the family and RIP Shep.

I'm sorry for the family's loss. I  met Shep at the Stillwater hunting club. It was Thanksgiving weekend 1996 . Shep dropped me off on watch on beach hill. I said to him wich way will the deer becoming from , he pointed in the direction and I waited about 45 minutes.  Then a hole herd of deer came right at me . The last deer to come out was a buck. I emptied my 30-30 rifle on him. I see him go down once. Then it seemed like forever waiting for him to come pick me up. Shep finally came back to me and he says was that you shooting,  I said yes , he said you shot a spike horn , I about started to cry because I swore up and down that was a big buck. Then Shep says I'm kidding with you,  you got a nice 8 pt . I said really,  I told him that it was my 1st buck ever . I was shaking so bad , he took my rifle and carried it back to the truck . And he handed me an orange hat and said your a dog the rest of  today. I will never forget that. He was a great man !! RIP Shep. 

I do appreciate Sheps kindness to my daughter and me. He was a gentleman and helpful. He will be missed. RIP Shep

RIP Pappa Shepherd! Thank you for all the beautiful memories with you and Barb.   Love Dolores

I’ll never forget the first time I met Shep. It was early morning, my first time at the Middle Branch,  and he was sitting in front of the fireplace of the old camp. He immediately stood up, introduced himself and welcomed me, not as a stranger, but an old friend. I cherish the times we spent together over the years and will be forever grateful for having had the opportunity to have known this wonderful man. He shared his knowledge and love of the woods unconditionally. As I look back on the many times that Shep “held court” in the evening after the day’s hunt, I cannot help but smile.
Happy hunting my old friend, I’ll miss you.



Shep was one of my supervisors  when I worked at SLU.  When I worked weekends I had to call Shep  many times to get some problems solved.  He was a great person to work with.  Rest in peace and prayers go out to Shep and all of his family.


Aunt Barb and family:
  We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Shep's passing. The memories we all share are endless. No word can express our sympathy to all of you. RIP Uncle Shep and fly high and watch over your wife, children and grandchildren. 
                       Hugs and Prayer
                   Darin and Jackie(Groulx)king
