In loving memory of Bryan Shepherd—
He was an unbelievable tennis pro and, more importantly, an extraordinary human being. The world has lost a very special soul who always carried a smile and a generous spirit, lifting others both on and off the court.
His kindness, warmth, and dedication to helping others will never be forgotten.
~Lisa Doherty, HEAD Racquet Sports
