Well-known area businessman Walter E. Shore, 73, of St. Joseph dies July 6, 1982 at Burnham Hospital.
Mr. Shore was responsible for establishing the corn cob processing plant near St. Joseph now known as Coeval Inc. as well as PDQ Printing and Kopy Kwik in Urbana.
Born March 25, 1909 at Hazel Dell, Ill., Mr. Shore was the son of Alvin and Bonnie Bell Johnson Shore. He married Deverie Roberts on October 15, 1932 in Urbana. She survives.
Also surviving are two sons, Jerry Shore of Ogden and Glen Shore of Springfield; a daughter Joyce Percival of Ogden; 11 grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; two sisters, Enda Applegate and Clara Eskew, both of Urbana; and two brothers, Charles Shore of Urbana and Harry of Wilber, Nebraska.
He was preceded in death by a brother and sister.
Mr. Shore had started a trucking business in Urbana, and in 1948 he began working in the development of cob processing in Rossville, Illinois. He invented and developed many of the machines used in the work.
In 1952 he started a cob processing plant in Glover, just east of St. Joseph. Six years later, he sold the plant, which became Coeval Inc.
Mr. Shore opened PDQ Printing at 105 North Vine Street in Urbana. In 1963 it was moved PDQ to 1802 N Lincoln Avenue. The quick copy business separated from PDQ in 1972 and became Kopy Kwik, moving to its own building next door, at 1804 N Lincoln Avenue.
Moving into a new field in 1976, Mr. Shore opened a lapidary business and engraving precious stones. He invented three new pieces of equipment for use in that field and manufactured the equipment. This business was located in the back of the Kopy Kwik business and had its own entrance on the side of the building.
Mr. Shore was a member of the St. Joseph church of Christ and the St. Joseph Lions Club. His hobbies included lapidary and bowling.
Funeral services were held July 9 at Frees Funeral Home, St. Joseph. The Rev. Hugh York officiated. Burial was held in the East Lawn Cemetery, Urbana.
