We all know that we will die one day, but when that day comes for our loved ones we are in a deep state of grief, pain, and denial. Sending my condolences & prayers for all of you during this most difficult time. Jeremiah 29:11-15 Rick was such a funny & handsome guy. Being from the same neighborhood, I remember him well. Life is a journey we all go through, but thank goodness for those precious moments shared together that will never die because they are carefully tucked inside our hearts forever.

Dear Mrs. Short, Ray and Rick's family, My heart was heavy to read of Rick's passing. My prayers are with each of you during this time. His picture is exactly as I always saw him, that big smile and twinkle in his eyes. His laugh I can still hear. I worked at Short's Plumbing in the late 70's. The Short family always will have a special place in my heart. Love and prayers.

Short Family, I am truly sorry to hear about Rick, he was always a class act with a smile for anyone and everyone he met. Rick would give you the shirt off his back, and wouldn't think twice about it. Great times and memories working for Rick and Ray back in the day. Rick was a very good man and will truly be missed by all who knew him.

Prayers to all the family. My parents are lifelong friends with the Short family. As kids we spent time together and socialized mostly between the family homes while our parents drank coffee. Ricky was five years older than me but I will remember him always with kindness.

Joyce, Ricky, and John, Words are so hard to find to express my sympathy for your loss. Ricky was a kind and caring man. He was a friend to so many especially to my nephew, Tommy. He has always helped him along the way. I will always remember that and be grateful to him. Thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

Joyce, Marilyn & I send our deepest regards. As you know Ricky and I were always close. The years separated us, but we were joined at the hip for life. I love Ricky. His smiling face and corny laugh has me grinning right now. I know without he loved you, his children and grandchildren immensely. That is Ricky Short. He never met a stranger and he absolutely embraced life with a fervor few of us will ever know. I told Virgil on Tuesday how odd it is that you can instantly miss someone so deeply even though you haven't seen them in 10 years. Please give Ray my condolences. Ricky and Ray. Cannot mention one without the other. I always loved the look on Ray's face when Ricky would start on one of his stories. I also appreciated how good they were to my parents. My dad loved the Short boys.

Dear Family , I am so sorry to hear of Ricky's passing. We went to school together and he was such a nice person. Always happy and a smile on his face. Saw him at the school reunion a few years ago and he was the same guy -- friendly, laughing and smiling ! I am so sorry for your loss.

I wish to express my deepest condolences to the Short family. Although it's been many years ago I remember Ricky as a man full of energy and a hard worker at the family business; always with a friendly smile. I have fond memories of my youth visiting Ricky and Ebbie SR. at the shop on Nederland Ave. with my old friend Ray JR. Ricky will surely be missed by me, my brother Joe who went to school with him and everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him.
