Tim was my best friend for 10 years, and hard to believe almost a year since I lost him. Spent a week with him in hospice, but had to leave for own appointment. Unresponsive when left, but hopefully he heard me. Best, most helpful, caring person ever and loved his son more than he will ever know.

I have great memories of Tim Shorter, especially in his water polo days with GLSA and his fighting ability during the games. I also was very proud and honored to speak to him at our first GLSA reunion and the effort he made it to get there and thanked me for the past coaching days.

Stunned and saddened to learn of Tims passing. I will hang on to my wonderful memories of all the fun shenanigans at GLSA and in high school. Tim had a wonderful sense of humor and I will always think of him and smile. Condolences to the Shorter family and all of Tims friends.
