Mr. Shepperton is Randy Shepperton’s father and Dick Prosser’s employer. Mr. Shepperton is very impressed with Dick’s work. Later, he brings the boys and Mr. Crane into town when he hears about Dick’s shooting spree. After Dick’s death, he brings the boys downstairs into Dick’s basement room and reads from the Bible where Dick had left off reading. When they leave, he locks the door so that no one can ever go in Dick’s room again.
