Once home, he graduated with his bachelor's from Wittenberg University in 1960 and later earned his master's from Miami University in 1967.

Mr Shambaugh was my Principal at OB. He went out of his way to help me many times. Thank you so much. He was more of a blessing than he could have known.

He was my principal in junior high. He was such a good leader and always looking out for us. Even years later when I would run into him in my adult years he always remembered my name and gave me a hug. RIP Mr. Shambaugh.

Mr. Shambaugh was one of my favorite educators of all time. One of the most kind hearted, caring, gentle men I have ever met. He was always fair, compassionate and willing to listen. He was loved by all who knew him, and will be missed. Heaven is a little sweeter now with his presence. God bless the family and friends in this time of tremendous loss.
