Roy Fedjeofficiating, held at the Caldwell's funeral home in Portland,Oregon. This is the notes from dr. Fedje; FRANK DONALD SHEPARDwas born on February 23, 1903 in Mt. Hope, Washington. Donald,as he was affectionately know, was a self-educated man with abrilliant mind. He attended several Trade Schools and becamevery proficient in his profession in the printing business. Donald and his wife, Geneva, started out with only one roll ofpaper. The first printing press they owned, Donald designed ithimself. From this small beginning he developed into a respectedBusiness man, and his firm on 39th and Killingsworth ave., inPortland, OR became known all over the Pacific Coast.About 8 years ago he began to fail in health, developing acoronary heart condition. On five occasions he was near death'sbed, but the best and most skilled medical care, lovingcompanionship, as well as a strong will to live and prayer,brought him back.Donald was a member of the Masonic Order, the FriendshipChapter, and Tancred Commandery, Knights Templar, The ScottishRite, the Al Kader Shrine and Eastern Star. Till recently, hewas a member of the Rose City Park Methodist Church, and sincemoving outside the city limits, he was a member of the SmithMemorial Presbyterian Church in Fairview, OR.Mr. Shepard was a very devoted husband. No two man-and-wifeworked more closely together in home and business. Home to himwas a Castle of Companionship, harmony and inspiration, both tohis loved ones and friends.Moreover, he was a good dad, providing much for them on ever somany occasions. His grandchildren were the "apples of his eyes."Don also had a keen sense of HUMOR. He loved to play tricks onthe family, and there were no dull moments in his presence. Hewas always friendly, happy, and fitted into every occasion as aborn gentleman and leader with unusual skill.He was a deeply religious man, broad in his concepts of God andChrist. He knew the odds and kept the seriousness of it all fromhis family and friends. The Ten Commandments were his yardstick, his book of rules. In the hospital and on severaloccasions, when both Dr., nurses and pastor feared for his life,"I am ready--but let's have a word of prayer." Then he wouldsqueeze my hand, as if to say; "til we meet again." This was thereal Don Shepard that we loved.Donald had a generous heart and did much for people lessfortunate. But this information never came from his own lips.To me, Don was a symbol of Manliness, resourcefulness andmasculine strength; a man of strong moral character andfairness.IN CONCLUSION;I think he has a message to each of us. It would be a heartythanks to his many friends; a special one to his devoted wifefor standing beside him these many years, not only as a goodwife and mother, but as a business partner. I think he would say to us all: "Don't cry for me. It isindescribably beautiful out here -- the Bible saying is true,"he would add, that, "What Eye hat not seen and ear not heard andwhat hath not been conceived in the hearts of men -- THAT hatthe Lord prepared for them that love Him."He is now safe in the everlasting care of our Eternal God and inHis Heaven. He suffered much, but he posessed inward strengthand Christian character. He had faith in the eternal God, theArchitect of the Universe.Farewell brother Donald, Farewell! A poem, so well fitting forhim, entitled, MY PURPOSE, seems to us, to be a fitting climaxand tribute to Donald Shepard;To live as gently as I can;To be no matter where, a man.To take what comes of good and ill;and cling to faith and honor still;To do my best, and let that stand;the record of my brain and hand.And then should failure come to me,Still work and hope for victory.To have no secret place wherein,I stoop unseen to shame or sin;To be the same when I'm alone,As when my every deed is known;To live undaunted, unafraidof any step that I have made;To be without pretense or sham,Exactly what men think I am.Author unknownMessage delivered by Rev.
