Morrilton, AR Friday, August 29, 2014 My heart goes to Mr. "Shorty's" family, he was always full of smiles and compassion,He always came in the Captains table every morning, and I would have his coffee and order turned in before he sat down. It's been a few years since I last saw him, but I'll never forget him! May God comfort each of you is my prayer.

Woodlawn, AR Wednesday, August 27, 2014 I was so saddened to learn of the passing of Shorty. Having known him for over 50 years that's all I ever knew, that and the big smile he always wore. He and Bill don't know anything about paving the streets of Gold. That's taken care of. I can just imagine the fun they are having re-living all the other kinds of paving though. To the family, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers now and in the difficult times ahead.Carole (Johns) Rushing
