When he wasn't working, Horace found happiness in the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and spending time with family and friends. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved making people laugh. His warm smile, generous spirit, and unforgettable personality will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all whose lives he touched. He was loved by many and leaves behind a legacy of hard work, laughter, and kindness. A skilled painter by trade, he was known by family, friends, and clients as one of the best. His dedication to his craft and the pride he took in his work earned him the respect of everyone who knew him.
