When I heard the news about Bob, the first thing I thought about was his laugh. He was always laughing, and had other people laughing with him. He was fantastically hilarious and loved having fun. His laugh is what I will miss most.
Our memories of Bob will live on, and keep him alive in our hearts. The world has truly lost a special man.

Kathy, and Bob's family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss! Bob was a great guy and I have many fun memories of him when we worked at All-Phase together. Among his many gifts, I loved and appreciated his stories and jokes! May his spirit be with you always. God Bless!

I will truly miss the friendship that Bob and I shared on his trips to NC. We talked about all the people we loved and cared about, the beach and yes even work.
Bob truly loved his boys and he loved Kathy. When he talked about them you felt the love he had for them. He was so proud of his sons.
Two weeks ago when we had dinner he addressed that he was blessed to have so much love and joy in his live. How Kathy was by his side when he needed her the most.How she would make a three hour trip to spend time with him.
Bob use to say that he would never get married again but the night I had dinner with him he told me he was going to marry her, she was the one who made him feel special.
You are all in my prayers. I wish there was more I could do to ease you pain but always know that Bob truly loved you all and you felt that love when you wre aroud him.

I'm so sorry that we've lost Bob Horn,who is my friend ,which I've had the honor to work with for the past few years thru the Rexel/Vantage agreement with Perdue inc..
Yes,Bob and I are friends first and peers second.He and I worked very close together with Rexel and Vantage on the Perdue Acct. AND I'VE BEEN AT IT FOR DECADES and what he accomplished far exceeds what I've seen in the past with other accts. His engagemant and comprehensive coverage is unmatched in our industry.
We will miss that ,but he has taught us well...............
Bob and I WERE "ONE" IN OUR ENDEAVORS and Bob is the best I've ever work with in the industry. He was always as close to me as my cell and he will continue to be forever.....If I needed that certain "cheer" or discussion that we often had about accounts ,goals,WEB-NARS,spread sheets,etc....Bob always knew...and often said after I'd make a comment ,"YEP" AND ALWAYS MADE IT SOUND SOOOO! EASY AND CLEAR!
YEP!Bob Horn is the greatest ,and will always be that in my book.
Your Friend,
Don Schul

To the Horn children,
So sorry to hear that your dad has passed...our memories are full from our days on South Arch Street, SW. I know you were young when we all lived there, but we had great times of joy and laughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I was very saddened to hear about Bob's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Bob over the course of 15 years while he worked at All-Phase and then as a member of our team at VANTAGE GROUP. Bob was someone that really lived every day to the fullest and loved what he did. Bob was so well-respected by his customers and his friends. While I know that words are only a small gesture of support, I want you to know that his spirit has touched many people's lives as it has mine. I will miss his smile and gift of telling a joke.
My deepest sympathy

To Bob's loved ones, I worked with Bob for only three years yet every time we spoke it was more about how we and our familys were doing and less about work. This may be more of an awakening as we age than anything else but it showed how much he loved his family. He will be missed by me and all of his fellow associates and especially by all of you. My deepest regrets for our loss.
