It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of a very sociable and caring man. Stanley Randolph (Randy) Short passed away on February 4, 2023, at his home in Ajax, Ontario, at the age of 67. Randy is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Olivera, children Melissa and Randy (Amanda), grandchildren Levi and Logan, furbaby Molly and grand-furbabies Simon and Soloman.
Randy was the patriarch and symbolic glue of his family and will be deeply missed by his brothers Lance (Cindy), Terry (Jackie) Bob (Bernadette) and sisters Marie (Wayne), Marilyn (Steve), Natalie (Kevin) and Betty-Jo.
Randy is predeceased by his father, Stanley, his mother, Gaye, and his sisters, Ruby, Pansy and Ivy.
His memory lives on with his nieces and nephews and the many close friends he made throughout his beautiful life.
There will be a visitation held on Saturday, February 11, 2023, from 12:00 pm-2:00 pm, followed by a brief service at Accettone Funeral Home, 384 Finely Ave., Ajax.

Im so sorry to hear of Randys passing! Im so glad i got to spend some time him after yrs a few yrs back! He was a joy to he around! It was also like a walk down memory lane with my dad ( Randys unckle) who has been gone for 20 yrs as the similarities between the 2 both physical and personality was heartwarming.
I hope u fly high with the angels Randy and find eternal peace! Love Renee
