I've been in Johnny and Gloria Shupe's life almost 59 years. So many wonderful memories when I visited their home every summer growing up. They are family and we spend lots of time together over the years. He was a wonderful caring gentleman. Never met a stranger because he loved to talk. He would always lend a helping hand. I know he will be truly missed by Gloria, family and friends. His body got tired and wanted to rest. Now he is in Heaven ( I know dancing in his cow boy boots) like he always loved to do. One blessing we can all say is: OH what sweet wonderful memories we have gathered during the years Johnny was in our life. One day we will see him again in Heaven. Jesus gives us Strength at times like this. My thoughts and prayers are with family and friends. God Bless!

Ronnie, Karen, Macy, Sam and Travis and the entire Shupe Family. I am so sorry to learn of the death of your Dad and grandfather but know that he is in a better place now and is without all that pain and suffering. On the few occasions that I met him, he was a really happy and sweet person and I really enjoyed talking to him especially the time he told me he had just lost his new glasses but not to tell Gloria. My prayers are with the entire family at this time.

If Mr. Shupe wasn't there, it just wasn't a softball game. It didn't matter if it was 110 or 25 degrees, he was there cheering, coaching, telling stories and just being him! The entire Varina Community will miss him! My favorite memory is the year we were all in Staunton for 4th of July and we had the cook out and played softball in the hotel courtyard! Boy did he have fun! We are thinking about you Gloria and the whole family!

John was a friend to my family helping in any way he could. John had a lot of special skills and could fix just about anything. This was demonstrated by the next MG he was working on in his garage. This provided very beneficial to my parents, Vernon and Jessie who were challenged at fixing things. Both John and Gloria were great friends and neighbors for many years. John was always willing to show Ronnie and I a little more about the game of baseball. The Shupe's also taught me how to swim. Thanks John for being a blessing and demonstrating the effortless way you served others with your God-given talents and abilities.
