Short Family, I served with Willie from the time he joined the Sheriff's Office until my retirement in 1998. Willie was the consummate professional on the range and as a life long shooter I always enjoyed being out there with him. He will be missed by all that knew him in the law enforcement community. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you in this celebration of Willie's life. Joe Pondrom Williamson County Sheriff's Reserve Reserve Rangemaster
Dear Family, Our sincere prayers of comfort and peace are with you at this time. We will miss Uncle Willie! We are so glad we got to spend time together last month at my mom's birthday. Those pictures and memories are treasures. John and I will miss his smile and stories. I remember when he and Aunt Bernie came to look at our new home and he looked at the details. He noticed that the screws on the light switches were all lined up and commented that that was good ?? We send our love to you all. John and Julie Anschutz
Through my sadness, I am comforted by the recent memories of my dear Uncle Willie during my visit to Dallas last month. What a great time we all had being together! I was touched by his happy spirit and always beautiful smile. He will be greatly missed. My most sincere condolences go out to you all at this difficult time. May all the good memories bring you peace and comfort. Love to all, Debbie Hester
Dear Alan and Family, I was sad to receive the news about the loss of "Captain Willie Short". Captain Short was the pistol range master at the Dallas Sheriff's Department when I went through their reserve police Academy in 1990. He knew everything about weapons…how to operate them, repair them, and most importantly "how to teach police to use them safely". I am grateful that I had such an outstanding instructor that laid the ground work for my profession. I remember many times, "Bernie" would telephone him at the end of the day and guide him away from his long days of teaching. Captain spent many hours teaching officers, but he knew when it was time to go home to his family. Later, I learned that "Captain Short" built my son's grandparents home on Mockingbird Lane in Dallas, years earlier. A lot of loving memories were spent in that home by our family which was built by him. He built a home that was solid as a rock. What an awesome job he did. Captain Short was a mentor, a fatherly figure, and a dear friend to me. I will miss visiting with him at the "Highland Park Cafeteria" and hearing his laugh as he told wonderful stories of life. What a wonderful person he and Bernie were together. Now, they can dance together with joy in the "High Heavens" with our "Heavenly Father". May God Bless his family, and his wonderful memories will always be in our hearts. A photo was attached from a retirement party with some of his students. Sincerely, DPD Jenny Nance
