Another great talent gone. I'll always remember the only time I spent with Shep at the sandcastle meet a few years back and the awesome chevy '57 painting he gave me then. What a great guy. My condolences to the family and friends.

Saddened to hear this, my condolences to his family. He was a positive contributer to this board and I enjoyed seeing his art.

Over the years there have been friends made via this board and eventually we met face to face and were delighted to find that who we thought we knew through electronics is really who we were. I've yet to meet Shep face to face, but through the years have come to know and love him, and someday we'll recognize each other face to face.
Good journey, my friend.

I'm truly saddened by this news. Shep was one of a kind, like Don said, not only a great artist but a great man. My heart goes out to his family.

Shep was not only a talented artist but was a true gentleman as well. I really enjoyed spending time with him at the Sandcastle meet and at his first woodgrain workshop. Rest in peace Shep, I'm looking forward to seeing you again on the other side.
Donald, thanks for letting us know about this. Do you happen to have the name of the funeral home that's taking care of his services?

A very sad day indeed. Shep was truly one of Letterville's finest gentlemen and a true artisan. Condolences to the family.

I just received the news from you Dave, by email. Such a sad day indeed. Although I never met Shep in person, I like others, knew him through the "special" gift that he had with us and shared through the years here in letterville. My life has become much richer through knowing Shep like this. May Shep's family have peace and comfort through this difficult time. God Bless you, Shep.

To those of you who have asked, Shep's funeral will be held on Thursday at 2:00 pm at New Grace Baptist Church, Toast, NC. It was his wish that he be cremated, his wife has suggested that anyone wishing to do so, may send a potted plant, that will be tended in his memory. In my opinion, a fine living tribute to a fine person. Thanks from his family and myself. Peace, Don
