I just want to say how proud and grateful I am to have had Al as my father-in-law. I am forever grateful to have known him and have him accept me into the Horton family.
Dad was always there to lend a helping hand over the years. Whether it was helping me rebuild the fence on Charing Cross or building decks and sheds at Bird River. 
I asked Dad for years to join the Bart gang on our hunting and fishing get togethers and he always said no. Finally one year he agreed and was hooked. I never saw such a huge smile on dad’s face as when he shot his first deer at 80 years young. Dad loved all the camaraderie with the guys, especially Bernard, Gibby and my dad. When my dad had his stroke Al took him under his wing whenever we went hunting or fishing, always making sure he had coffee in the morning and three fingers of rye at the end of the day. 
Dad loved gardening. When I hooked him up with my uncle Adam he was ecstatic about having such a big garden again out on Red River drive.
Dad, I will miss your company driving out to hunting and fishing camp. You will be missed by all the guys from Gibby’s Gang and Stan’s Clan. 
God speed big guy.

My Dad, Tom Yamada, became good friends with Allan when they both lived in Winnipeg as young men.  They kept in touch and I remember visiting his family when we were young kids.  Dad and Allan had an acrimonious start to their friendship but they got over this to become great friends over a long period of time.  I know that Dad and Allan will meet up in the afterlife to renew acquaintances and have a few laughs.  I offer our deepest condolences to Jean and the rest of the Horton family on behalf of the Yamada family of Edmonton and Calgary.

Mrs. Horton, Sharon, Glen, Don, and Myles, my deepest sympathy to all of you at this difficult time.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you and I hope you find peace in the coming days ahead.  It was a pleasure to be friends and neighbors.  All the best.

Mrs. Horton and family,
My deepest sympathy to you all on the loss of your precious husband, dad, father in law, grandpa and great grandpa, Allan, Mr. Horton to me.  He used to say “don’t call me that, I feel old when you do”.  Mr. Horton was truly a friendly, kind, caring and gentle man who had a smile that filled a room.  Your hearts will be heavy in these coming days but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers every day.  May the memories that you share sustain you all until you are able to be together to truly celebrate a wonderful man and a  life well lived.
Love, Charlene

Mrs. Horton, Auntie Sharon, Uncle Paul and family, I’m very sorry for the loss of such a wonderful, warm person. When I think about Mr. Horton what stands out in my memories is how nice and welcoming a person he was. Such an infectious smile. When you’re little, unfamiliar faces can sometimes be a bit intimidating but I don’t have one memory of hanging out with UP and AS when Brent and I were younger where I ever felt that way when Mr. and Mrs. Horton would join us. When I think about him I also think about how wonderful he was with grandpa Bart (Stan) and how they would have many laughs together even after grandpa wasn’t able to verbally communicate anymore. You can bet your booty the red carpet was rolled out up there for him. Again, our deepest condolences. 

- Tracy, Mike, Hailey and Carly Martin
