They were very active in the area’s business communities, and whole-heartedly supported local causes, events, and charities. They loved people; world travel; sunny, warm destinations; sports cars; their Range friends; their Highland Woods Community friends in Bonita Springs; and most especially, their family. Shelby was a member of Resurrection Catholic Church in Eveleth and the Laurentian Chamber of Commerce.
