I will send prayers for comfort for Mr. Shellman's family. I am truly honored and blessed to have worked for him several years at the VA. He was a wonderful boss and a true advocate for the veterans. I will always admire his integrity and appreciated his mentoring. He was a true gentleman. I am saddened that I cannot come one last time to say Good Bye. You have a very special Dad. His employees loved him.
