To the family of Ernest Horne:
I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Horne from his years of service working for S.P. Terry Painting. I worked in the office and even after Mr. Horne retired, he would come by and visit and sit and talk. I have very fond memories of he and my father and Jack Myers working at the shop. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this sad time.
