Patricia, I heard about Shorty's passing today and wanted to tell you how sorry I am, Jim told me. I know I have never had contact with your family after awhile except for my children's contact with your family. You and I and Linda go way back as far as our knowing each other. I am glad we did get to see each other at Lucie's wedding. I hope and pray that you will be alright. I know it was very hard when my husband, Leroy died. I hope and pray that your family, Dutch and Lindy Beth live close to you and will give you comfort whenever you need it. I am sure they will be there for you whenever they can. I couldn't find you on facebook but found Dutch and Lindy Beth, maybe we can keep in contact with each on facebook or email. Will be praying for you and your family. Love Elaine

My family always thought a lot of Shorty, especially my dad Nolan. We lived and farmed at Luther and my uncle Dealon and cousin Leslie Lloyd worked at the refinery camp at Vincent. I can remember hunting with Shorty, he was always a kind and friendly man. Sorry for your loss. He is now in Heaven awaiting you.

Carl & Vonna Wyrick left a message on March 9, 2013:
Trisha, our sincere condolences for Shorty's passing. Shorty and I grew up together in Vincent and I remember being at Leslie and Maurene's home many, many times playing with Grady, Nelda and him. Our parents were very good friends and did many fun things together, therefore we kids were together quite alot. Of course, he farmed Mother's place for quite a few years, as he did just about every farm in and around the Vincent area. Mother (Mirl Springfield) sends her sincere condolences, as well. Carl always appreciated going on the quail and dove hunts out in Vincent with Shorty. He was truly a wonderful man and we know you and everyone who knew Shorty will miss him greatly. God bless you and, as we all know, he's in a much better place now.
Jane Overman left a message on March 9, 2013:
I worked in the Courthouse for many years while David was a commissioner and always found him to be very conscientious regarding the county's business. I know that his family and those that knew him on a more personal basis will truly miss him.

Im very sorry to hear about Shorty. He was a good man. iI have not seen him for fifty plus years. I had to get my 1960 jayhawker yearbook out last night to remember what he looked like back then and Im sure that he would have had to do the same for me. Shorty and the Whitaker boys and several of us ran together for awhile. We all had plenty of good clean fun. I have fond memories of all of us in that time so long ago. A lot are gone and some are still here but none will ever be forgotton. RIP ShortySorry if I post this twice----Thought I lost the first one.

Prayers for the family...Shorty will be greatly missed by the whole community. My favorite memories of Shorty are the stock shows when Robbie hauled the 4H and FFA steers to Houston every year in his 18 wheeler. Kelli was about 3 and loved to follow Shorty around. The first year we hauled the show steers Kelli ask him why do the have camels here.....They were looking at Brahma Bulls. Every time I would see Shorty he would laugh and say how he loved that. Fun Times.
