Allan 'Al' 'Shorty' Stewart Worts, beloved husband of Elaine 'Trudy' Worts of Medicine Hat, passed away peacefully while surrounded by his family at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital on Monday, July 6, 2009 at the age of 78 years. 'Shorty' was born in Medicine Hat on December 4, 1930, a son to proud parents, Edward and Martha Worts. He was raised in Salmon Arm, B.C. where he also received his schooling. As a young man he enlisted in the Army Reserve and was stationed in Wainwright. He later moved to Redcliff where he gained employment on the Ellis Ranch which was fitting, as Shorty always loved ranching and thought of himself as a cowboy. He left the ranch and began his meat cutting career with 'Taylor Brothers' and later the 'Family Grocery' before moving on to Safeway where, before long, he was promoted as the Meat Manager. A span of 31 years passed when Shorty retired from Safeway and started working at Schlenker Auction. He developed a passion for the auction market that reflected in his work. The bonds formed in friendship through his work and personality were unmatched. As a friend, he was someone heavily relied on as he was always willing to lend a helping hand. He loved his friends and they in turn, truly adored him. In 1950, Shorty met Elaine 'Trudy' Strobel and they were united in marriage on March 29, 1952 in Redcliff. For the next 57 years he embraced life by doing all the things he enjoyed - rodeos, hunting, fishing, camping, visiting his brothers in B.C. and taking in Tiger hockey games. In earlier years he coached little league baseball and hockey. Shorty was a man who took great pride in his life and gained the respect of those who knew him. He was a very proud family man - and family (including his dogs) meant the world to him. His children looked up to him and his grandchildren are left with the memory of a grandpa that will be forever etched in their hearts. Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Trudy; three sons and grandchildren, Glenn (Karen) and their daughters, Kendra (Jeremy) and Layne (Randy); Dale (Debbi) and their children, Dylan (Amy) - (great-grandson, Laik), Dustin (Holly) and Darren; Corrie (Kim) and their children Larry and Emma; a brother, Lloyd (Marion) of Kamloops, B.C.; a sister-in-law, Vernice Strobel of Calgary and a brother-in-law, Gordon Kaser of Edmonton as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Edward and Martha Worts; a brother, Gordon and wife, Margaret; sisters-in-law, Olga, Vivian and Audrey; brother-in-law, Bob; a nephew, Kevin and several close friends. Shorty's life will be celebrated at Hillcrest Evangelical Missionary Church, 3785 13th Ave. S.E., Medicine Hat on Monday, July 13, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Bob Findley officiating.
