Donald D. Shope

Don had a generous heart, always willing to help a friend! he helped our sons, sold property to our youngest son down on Hanover by the reservoir. Property so he could build a home on it! he ADVISED JACK I to purchase our home on Faye Road in Shope Gardens, where we raised all three sons! and we drove his old fire truck in the Highspire BI CENTENAL, with Santa aboard!! the three sons loved that! thanks DON.RIP!we will never forget you!

Prayerful greetings to Cousins Shirley, Donny, Ray and Fay,

Warm thoughts for you and your children and their children at this time of patriarchal loss, whom I knew as "Uncle Jim". His name brings back many fond and amusing memories, esp his visits to Jani and me in Virginia, and then to Stoneham, MA, always bringing my parents who would not drive long distances. Reading his "opportunity" (Grandpa Hetrick's favorite way of expressing the paper write-up) brought back vivid...

Shirley, Donnie, Fay and Ray, My sympathy and prayers are with you on the loss of your father. I remember so many fun times we all shared as we were growing up. I'm sorry I will be unable to be at the services but will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Janet Kettering Zeiters

We are praying for your peace and comfort during this time. Blessings to you!

Faye, I'll always remember when your dignified and business-like Dad showed up to help us move the farm, and my Dad thought he was a salesman and was ready to chase him off. How wrong we were! What a help your Dad was! And we were so glad that my brother Paul was marrying into such a good family. My heart goes out to you in your loss, and I am crying for you and your family.

Our deepest sympathy concerning the death on your loved one Donald.

Carl & Doris Grubb

Although we never met him, the fruits of his faithfulness are clearly evident in the family we do know. Faye and Paul, our deepest sympathies to you and yours on your loss. The loss of my own father changed my life forever for the better, as his faith in God was clearly evident, and my thoughts and prayers are with you for comfort and assurance in these difficult times. May the love of God be just as evident in your service, Paul.
