Bill Sheppard grew up in the Sterling Downs track. The last time I saw Bill was in 2006 when I was staying with my mother after she was recovering from surgery. I walked by his house one day and we struck up a conversation. I saw him once more after that when I drove by his mother's house and he was sitting on her porch. He passed away sometime between 2006 and 2010, the year my brother passed.
William "Bill" Sheppard, resident of Belmont, was born July 6, 1947 in San Francisco and passed away on October 5, 2009. He resided in Belmont for most of his life. He attended Carlmont High School and the College of San Mateo. He was a proud member of Sheet Metal Workers Local 104 and worked for almost 40 years at Izmirian Sheet Metal in San Mateo. Bill was preceded in death by his father William Sheppard, Jr.
Bill is survived by his mother Lila Robertson, 3 sisters; Debbie DeLuca, Susie Sheppard and Angel Riley, 3 children; Bill Sheppard, Shelly Sheppard and Gina Tipper. He has 4 grandchildren; Justin Sheppard, Jacob Tipper, Kayla Tipper and Caitlin Larsen; the 5th grandchild is due in December. He is also survived by his beloved yellow lab Shylo. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, SF Giants, SJ Sharks and the SF 49ers. Bill will be deeply missed but will live in our hearts forever. The family thanks long time friend Diane Pappas for her help
A celebration of his life will take place at Alexander Park in Belmont on Sunday, October 11, 2009 from 12-3pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Peninsula SPCA.
