I worked for Shorty on the Soo Line Railroad as a track laborer in 1978 and later on became a Conductor. Things were never dull around Shorty and wearing some high boots was a necessity when the B.S. was being dished out. Lots of good memories. David Shanklin, Cyber Attack Survivor, Amherst WI
We have delivered meals-on-wheels to "Shorty" for several years. He was always a bright spot on our route. We always wanted to call him "Smiley" instead of "Shorty". He will be missed.
I've delivered meals on wheels to Shorty for many years and I always looked forward to seeing him and engaging in a round of good natured ribbing. I will miss him! Kim
