Joseph Badger Shelor, 79, slipped away silently to the Elysian Fields after a valiant 10-year battle with debilitating health issues on May 28, 2014. Ever the officer and gentleman, he died as he lived, exemplifying The Episcopal High School's motto: Fortiter, Fideliter, Feliciter (bravely, faithfully, joyfully).

Born in Meadows of Dan, Virginia, he graduated from The Episcopal High School, Alexandria, Virginia in '52 with advanced standing and as a monitor. He went to Princeton University, joining the Cottage Club, and graduated from Hampden-Sydney College in '57 with a B.S., belonging to Kappa Sigma fraternity. UVA awarded him a Master's in Arts in teaching chemistry in '81. After serving in the Navy as a Lt. j.g. aboard the USS Platte, he returned to E.H.S. where he taught math, religious studies and chemistry, coached track and field, football and instituted the game of lacrosse as a school sport. He was also a fierce competitor on the squash court. Mr. Shelor inspired and infused a love of learning in generations of young men and women in his 45 years of service. He demanded their best as his philosophy was "prepare, participate and persevere." The chemistry lab was named in his honor, as well as a lacrosse award given in his honor by his 1972 undefeated hall of fame lacrosse team, Captain Charlie Bagley and Crease Attackman Beau Wilson spearheading the concept and raising the funds to make the MVP Award a yearly event. He was master to many and servant to all.

His survivors include his sidekick and loving wife of 44 years, Elizabeth Hardy Blanton "Bonnie" Shelor; and his three much-loved daughters, Jennifer Shelor Glenn (Eric), and her two sons, Joseph Matthew Malone and James Austin Malone; E. Wiley Shelor Hunnicutt (Philip), and her two children, Robert Isaac (Zack) and Lily Elizabeth; Natalie Shelor Sinclair (Brendan), and their daughters, Mackenzie Diana and Madeline Eliza. Three of his six siblings, Susan Shelor, Edna Ann Williams and Nancy Wynn survive him; as well as his brothers-in-law, Charlie Blanton and wife, Chris, and Andrew Blanton and wife, Alison; as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Mr. Shelor was a patriot and scholar, who loved his family wholeheartedly and they him. One-of-a-kind and a kind, good man, he will be deeply missed.

Special thanks to New Century Hospice, Jennifer, Lorie, Rachel, Jen, Claudia, Jenny and Alexa, as well as Jasmine Tyler and Taliah Murry of Always Best Care Senior Services, who brought great comfort in his final years.
