To the family, my deepest condolences and prayers for comfort during the transition of our brother, Horace. He was like family to us, when ever my dad or mom needed him, he always made his way over and sometimes for a meal when he's done. When I was younger, I thought he was the tallest man on earth but with a big heart. He will be truly missed. Family, hold to the memories and the love that you guys shared and to be absence from the body is to be present with the Lord. May God continue to comfort you and keep you close during this time.

I could not have know a better man, a angel to some, then Horace Johnson, my friend, my co-worker from past, someone who would go out of his way to help someone. Always cheerful,always a kind word, a smile that would brighten anyone's day. A honest man, a family man,and a man true to his word, is but a few things about this man that i so looked up to. You will be miss my brother.
