Mr. Shortt was a graduate of Snow Hill High School and had worked as a sheet metal mechanic for Wilfre Company. He enjoyed all activities involving water — among them, fishing, shrimping, and boating. He was an avid hunter. A real “people person,” he loved to socialize with his many friends and spend time with his family. A nonstop worker, he still found time for his friends or to help someone out.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, Jan. 5, 2018, at 2 p.m. at the Burbage Funeral Home in Berlin, Md.. The Rev. Donald Bailey will officiate. Friends may call one hour prior to the service.
