Horace S. Hitchens

I worked for Horace for several years. As a teenager, and rebellious, I thought Horace was gonna be a pain in my butt. Instead, he would call me his princess. Horace seemed to play like the tough manager without a heart, but that man had one of the biggest hearts. I often wondered how he was and if he was well. This saddens me to see he has passed on. He left a permanent mark in my life and I wish peace for those he left behind. Rest in peace Horace.

Goodbye, Horace. I am sorry you are gone.

I met Horace at the Paoli Acme when I was 16. Otherwise known as Big H to us kids. I've been with Acme now for 31 years, I've yet to meet a manager of his caliber. He was Stern but fair, and really a great teacher how to get things done in a fast orderly fashion. To his two sons I had the pleasure of working with, Keith and David, your dad was awesome. My buddy John Myers and I talked about your father all the time. He's been greatly missed since the day he transferred out of Paoli. I've had...

So sorry to hear of Horace's passing. Our prayers are with you, Mary Ellen, and the family. Now we have another angel in heaven to help us through our days. God Bless!
