Dear Ilsa & Family,

Very sorry to hear of your lost. Time passes by rather quickly and it has been quite awhile since I have been in touch. I always will have good memories of times spent at Aunt Florence and Uncle Rays home as well as many Sunday afternoons at my parents (John & Ethels)in Napanoch. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during the difficult times ahead.

To A Wonderful Family,

I am flooded with memories of days in the past. I see Bobby with a grin on. I see Kenny, Bowl-cut, and his football jersey # 7 I think. Steve looking just like a blend of the two. A great group of boys, men. I remember Mrs. Horton cutting my hair, and Mr. Horton in the Grand Union with that smile he passed to his sons. What a wonderful life we have all seen.

To Bobby's wife, children, and family,

Remember all the times you have had, and I hope the time will come quickly that you can smile for longer and look ahead with pride at the great man you knew. Know that he loved you all, and will always be with you in your heart.

I am grieving with you for your loss. I am happy to have known all of the family. Wish I had been able to make the service, but out here in Otisville, I was unaware till it had passed.

Please know I will think of you often and pray for your strength and spirits to heal as best they can.

Love to you all,

Jackie Pierson, and all the Phillips Family

Dearest Horton Family,



I had the distinct pleasure of working with Bobby at Ciba and later Novartis. Together we accomplished so much and through our trials an tribulations Bobby was always kind, considerate, proffessional and positive...he was my rock.



My fondest memories of Bobby was the smile on his face, the twinkle in his eye and the pride in his chest when he spoke of his two greatest passions; skiing & his children.



He was my Colleague, my Ski Instructor, my golfing buddy and above all, my Friend. Please know just how much he was loved and what a positive influence he had on all those who's life he graced.



Your Family will now and always remain in my heart and my prayers.



Love, kelly

Janine- I share your pain and hold you in my heart. I am so sorry for both of your familes.



I remember so well those early days on the slopes of Mt Peter when I first met Bob. He always encouraged the parents to ski with the group, I can hear him yelling "Come on Mom or come on Dad ski with us"

He got us hooked on ski racing and through racing we have made some beautiful friendships and have lots of memories.
