Mr Joe Horgan was a really good court appointed lawyer. He defended me in juvenile court back in 2001 in Olathe, Ks. Good guy with a warm spirit.

Joe was a classmate at KU Law. I occasionally ran into him at the JoCo courthouse and always enjoyed talking with him. It usually involved much more laughter than you would expect in a conversation between two lawyers.

I'm reminded of his quick wit, agile legal mind and wonderful sense of humor.

My prayers and condolences go out to his family.
