Thomas B. Shepard

Tom, you will be missed, dearly. I miss your bearded smile and great attitude. No matter what, you were always positive, smiling, and friendly. You had your moments - you could be a bear, but your heart was golden. Thank you for the happy memories. You told people I was your best friend. I was your friend, and I always wished you the best. Hated chance cut short your golden years- a time full of change and challenge. Your personality would have pulled you through to a new beginning. You will...

I had the honor of being Toms barber for sometime. I always enjoyed our chat sessions and just wanted the family know he will be sincerely missed by many people. My sincere sympathy.

Elizabeth and Meg, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Love, TRACY

Dearest Elizabeth and Our Family, I have so many fond memories of watching 4th of July fireworks with Uncle Shep. He'll still be watching, but with a different view. We miss him terribly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Elizabeth.

Thank you everyone for submitting these kinds words and for so many of you attending the wake and/or funeral. It was like having an Elkhart Ave., WFB, Milwaukee and Up North reunion. Although I have lived in Oregon for over 35 years my connection to Wisconsin was always through Tom's places and it was there I met many of you. I would be happy to hear from any of you who would like an update on Pam's or my life in Oregon. We are now both out here in the recreation business. Check out...

Dear Shep,
So sudden, I couldn't believe it. That is how fast our precious life can be taken away...I didn't know you for very long, but you seemed to know how to make every day count and live life to its fullest. You had a love for your fellow friend and put that person before you, always. It is true, as I read in another entry...your smile was contagious. You will truly be missed. May you be at peace where you are now and spread your joyous outlook up there the way you did when you were...

Tommy,
There are just no words to express how sad this news has made me. I have known Tom for almost 35 years and have been introduced to some of the most wonderful people by Tom. Be at peace my friend!!

Elizabeth,
I am so sorry for you loss. My thoughts are with you.
