John Shepard

Didn't see it anywhere on here. May he rest in peace. I will miss him.

 

Seeing him was a part of going to a WERA weekend in the Southeast for 30 years...
Thoughts and Prayers to the family— especially Diane and Jonathan.

 

R.I.P John.

 

Rest easy Papa John.

 

John was truly awesome..., one of the nicest people I've ever met, he will be missed by many!
A race weekend didn't seem complete if he wasn't there, RIP John and thanks for all the fond memories!

 

RIP John

Oh no. May he Rest In Peace. Such an amazing man. Such an amazing family.

 

Rest well, Papa John.

 

RIP in peace John. Entering the track was always a better with you there.

That poster he showed up with at Tally after the previous close call was classic. What a great guy!

 

Also survived by his daughter Deanna Sheppard-Cattie, grandchildren Kristina Mobley and James Strickland.

 

Me too, thanks everyone for the good comments.

 

He was a nice guy. RIP.
