Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family and loved ones. While Horace will truly be missed by many, he has left a great legacy. I don't know all of Horace children, but I know Jeff personally and he is certainly a strong willed and dedicated and loving family man.. so he had some wonderful male influence through his dad no doubt while guided equally by the loving hands of his mom. Prayers are with you all and I know you will stand strong as a family unit just as he would expect you to do. If there is anything at all we can do, please let us know. Much love and prayers!!
