Shorty had his own business for over 60 years and was a certified electrician, plumber and HVAC. Even though he’s technically retired, he still works with the Glades RV Resort and helps whenever he is asked.
According to Shorty, the secret to a long life is to stay busy. He says he is blessed to be surrounded with friends who he enjoys tremendously.
