I only knew Merle for a short time (no pun intended) while I lived behind his brother's house (Lyle) back in the early 90's. I would visit the Sunnyside café and play cards with Merle and Lyle's son, Mark. Those were good times. Mr. Short was a true gentlemen. He was always quick with a good story. I moved away (to Aztec) in 1996. I still see Mark once in a while, but always ask how Merle was going. Sorry to hear of his passing. The Short's are good folks!!

Sorry to hear of Merl's passing. He was always so friendly and let Nan and I hike up Short Canyon. I still remember him riding on his horse-drawn wagon up and down the county road by our house.

Merl Short was a great man and highly regarded by my family, I always enjoyed his comments as a child in 4-H and at the fairs, he taught me a lot growing up, and a great friend who will be missed by all......Robert Boyd

We send our deepest sympathy. He was very special and a blessing to know.

Dear Steve,
So sorry to see about your dad's passing, he was always so fun to help at FNB when I worked there. He and I had an inside joke that I will always remember!!

We will miss his visits sharing stories with his brother. Much love from Lyle & Jill Short
