To the Horn Family,
The Noah I new was one of those rare breeds who could balance the Natural World with the one people share. I remember a hunting afternoon a few years ago when I was in a tremendous hurry to get to a hunting stand that I had picked out for that afternoon's hunt. When I got there it was occupied by someone behind a big log and asleep,it was Noah. I did not try to awake him but went on around the hill laughing to myself because that was exactly what I had in mind. Each time I go to the field or the deep woods I will think about my old friend.

Our family has been blessed with my husband's employment with Noah Horn. He knew all his employees by name and never walked away when one wanted to chat for a while. He was a good, honest and decent man. He went far beyond what he had to do, to help anyone in need. He will be missed greatly.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please know that he has left this earth, but has found a mansion in Heaven. He will always be with you-in your hearts-in your souls-and in your memories.

WE MAY MEET AGAIN
What can be said about Noah Horn as we say our final good-bye
Even though death is certain sometimes we may ask the question why.
If he thought you needed it he would give you the shirt off his back
Without him lives will never be the same, something will always lack.
Each time he greeted you there was always a smile on his face
Not one person on this Earth could ever take his place.
He showed pride in his employees & spoke highly of them
Noah would help out all he could for all of his men.
A martyr of sorts without even trying at all
He would pick up the pieces when they would fall.
We will miss him so much & we hope he knew
How much he really meant to us, me & you.
The memories we will hold dear in each heart
That is where from him we won't ever part.
Rest in peace our dear friend
And one day we may meet again.
