Not sure what to say?

Uncle Shorty will be missed by many as he was loved by all who met him. He was always full of life and laughter. Shorty was an awesome host and made us feel welcome in their home. I can not imagine Colorado Springs without him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Olene, family and friends. Sandra, Brian and Nathan Dickerson

I am very thankful for the closeness Shorty and Olene have had with my parents, Marvin and Charlene Wooldridge. You have enjoyed retirement and traveling together and those memories will be alive forever. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
With Love,
Tommy, Shauni, Cole, Clay, & Katy

Shorty was not just family, we considered him a good friend. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with Olene and family. Clophas & Cloie Sutton

Shorty was always lively and interested in being a part of what was going on, especially at Stump family reunions. Both he and Olene took time from their cleaners to take us to lunch when my husband and I visited from NJ and looked them up in Colorado Springs. On another visit they came to our daughters home in the Black Forest to visit. He inspired us with his zest for life. We are grateful to have known him and send our heartfelt wishes to Olene.
