I was honored to have met Horace. I was impressed by his honest view of God, living, family. This man was as real as REAL gets.
And so, as we part from our friend we grieve not; "For that which we love most in him is clearer in his absense, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain".

Mr. Byes was always jovial, kind, and very courteous when he came to play a round of golf at Eagleglen G/Crse. I respected him for his outward believe
in the Lord Jesus Christ. Would discuss that subject anytime. He will
sincerely be missed throughout the
community he minister to. Mr. Byes, you
were a good human being, an honor to
serve you while I was a Starter at Eagleglen G/Crse. Thanks so much for
your generosity, will miss that raspy
voice.
