My father is law is one John N Villies. He considered Shoppe his best friend in life. John passed Nov 20 2012 and when we visited Mingo and Steubenville we thought of Shoppe and wondered about him. We are sure his is in a better place...perhaps an American Legion Hall in Heaven for vets of WWII. We share your loss. All of us in tbe Villies clan remember Shoppe!!! God bless you!
