Alan Robert Horvath

Alan, Although we lost touch over the years much to my regrets, I am so very grateful that you had a rich and wonderful life with your career, your journeys, your writing, and the love of your life, Kathy. You mentored me early in our working days at Parma Community General Hospital in the Housekeeping department. Later we moved on to work at the HK Ferguson Company where we shared numerous adventures with brownie recipes to name a few. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kathy for her loss...

Alan was a wonderful friend and co-author who i miss intensely. His work will not be forgotten and his publications grace some of the finest university libraries in the world.

Thinking of you Alan. Yesterday was the 30th Anniversary of Helen's death. But you already know all this, brother.

With deepest sympathy, Kathy

Though I knew Alan only a short while, it was an honor to be his friend and to receive his writings, as well as his artistic, meticulous, creative publications of the works of others. Receiving a package from Kirpan press was to receive a fine treasure. I take comfort in knowing that Alan had Kathy at his side to help him during these past few years of especially difficult health challenges. My sincere sympathy to Kathy for her great loss, and to those friends and family who feel his...

I knew A. Horvath only via real from the post office mail and from his publications produced as Kirpan Press. As such, he invigorated the realm of the poem by keeping the indipeDance (Dance)and strange bueatiful aspects of poetry and the poem FIRST. As poet in his spiritual form, A. Horvath is now our imagination.
