HORN, William Leon
Of Delton William "Bill" Horn was born March 18, 1947, in Galesburg, Michigan, the son of Alfred and Katherine Johnson Sullivan Horn and passed away February 13, 2010, at the Laurels of Galesburg. He was a longtime Galesburg resident until relocating to Delton in 2001. He proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Later, he was employed with the Borroughs Manufacturing Corporation in Kalamazoo for over 40 yrs. He enjoyed attending Thornapple Valley Church in Hastings; he was an avid reader and enjoyed hosting numerous foreign exchange students. He was a true outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing and hunting; he was a devoted sports fan with all Galesburg sports, NASCAR, the Detroit Red Wings, and was the #1 U of M fan especially Wolverine football under Bo Schembechler. Bill was not one to brag, but he often said that he just might be... the best pinochle, horseshoe, marbles, and euchre player in SW Michigan. On August 3, 2002, Bill was united in marriage to Mary Richardson Collier, who survives. Also surviving are his children: Tori Horn of Portage and Ben Jennifer Horn of Kalamazoo; grandchildren: Javon and Keygan Horn of Portage; stepsons: Jamie and Jacob Collier, both of Kalamazoo; former wife Marcia Horn of Portage; brothers: Ed Carol Horn of Union City, Marv Barb Horn of Galesburg, David Ruthann Horn of Constantine and Dick Anne Horn of Vicksburg; sister-in-law, Jackie Horn of Portage; along with many nieces and nephews. He will also leave behind the exchange students he loved so much: Ji Hyeon Lee of Korea, Mathilde Guillet of France, Malin Sveindal of Norway, Suzie Guyetand of France, Mariann Naerland of Norway and Ronja Egbert of Germany. Bill was preceded in death by his parents and by his oldest brother, Roger Horn. The family will receive friends on Tuesday from 2-4 and 6-8 PM and Wednesday from 12-1 PM at Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Galesburg Chapel, 145 W. Battle Creek St., where a service to celebrate Bill's life will be held at 1:00 PM Wednesday. Interment with full military honors will follow in Ft. Custer National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Bill's memory may be directed to Hospice Care of SW Michigan.
