Condolences from here too, it's always sad to lose a good one, though we must all accept fact that at some time in our lifes, we must move on to other pastures...Shep lived a good life, as evidenced by his commitment to his talents, he will be sorely missed by those who knew him and those that knew of him, like me...God speed Shep, may you be in heaven 1/2 an hour before the devil knows you're gone...

God Speed Shep!! ...one of letterville's elders, a man who always seemed to convey the perfect balance of a refined and content soul. It was, and still is, an honor to hang with the same crowd.

Sad day when people pass away,but through places like this you are lucky to "meet" some great and talented people, those times and memories will always be with us.
I remember how Shep was quite active on the portfolio page a couple of years back, that was great.

Very very sad news indeed. Thanks Donald for letting us know. Shep was an amazingly talented and gifted man; he will be sorely missed but always live with great admiration among his peers.

I can remember being a kid on my bike back in the mid sixties and we would go peek in Shep's shop door on our way home from school,...It was always amazing the stuff that went on in there,..He would run us off to keep us away from the toxic fumes, and wet paint,...but we'd always sneak back a day or so later, as there was always some kind of wild hot rod or custom van like we only saw in the hot rod magazines. I guess we were a pain at times but it was really neat to see what he had new going on each week, especially for a ten year old,....later in my life after I had my own sign business and was working on the road chasing the race and hot rod circuits for the local tobacco advertisers ,I'd run into him through friends and I'd ask if he was the same guy who had the paint shop on Waughtown St. He would kid us about being such persistant pests and laugh,…then shoot the bull about all the old shops we’d worked in or around town over the years, either as old hat `wall dogs or easel painters, then swap tall tales about local guys we’d both worked with over the years. The year after 911 , he came down to the track and we got to do a huge “Support Our Troops” sign on top of the main tower for the boys and gals over there,…gratis of course, he wouldn’t have it any other way,...The man always had that “artists’ “ sparkle in his eye,...mischievous and searching for way to do good with his blessing,….
