Each summer for the past 15 years he enjoyed going to reunions of his unit in various parts of the country and seeing his old Army buddies.
"He was very handy around the house, always fixing and building. He built a horse barn in Goshen for his granddaughter Shana. When he was no longer able to do the work himself he became a great teacher - he would sit and teach his grandson, Ryan, how to do the little things that needed doing around the house," recalled Dorothy Hewitt, a daughter.
Shep enjoyed fishing, hunting, building and flying remote controlled airplanes in his retirement, and conversing endlessly on the telephone with his many friends about whatever issues were in the news. He never gave up on our world. Though sometimes pessimistic about the present state of affairs of humanity, he always wanted people to know that they could make a difference and change the future for the better. Always the handy-man, he believed careful action and calm thinking could fix anything. He always said, "Measure twice, and cut once."
Shepherd was a member of American Legion Thurston Wood Post 198 in Cape May Court House. He was president and a founder of the South Jersey Chapter Battle of the Bulge, and a former member of the Wildwood Crest Fishing Club.
