I credit Shorty as being one of only a few men who helped make me a person who can take care of me and mine! He definitely helped shape my life and will live in my memory forever!

We have been best friends for over 50 years and he will always be remember to me as Shorty. I can’t tell all the things we did in our younger days . Let’s just say we were rowdy and mischievous just ask our siblings.
