I’ll remember you Ollie as the ambassador who welcomed me to the VA Memphis on my first day as the new Chief of Staff in May, 2000. Your enthusiasm and compassion for our patients went above and beyond. I was saddened to read about your passing but I’m fairly sure that you are carrying on your ambassador duties in a better place. Rest In Peace, my friend. I’ll see you someday soon. 

You earn your 2 Wings, now fly with Blessings, Gone but not forgotten

Ollie,  
 I am sad at the thought of your leaving this earthly vessel  where we will no longer share phone conversations. I rejoice, however, in the fact that you are in the arms of our Lord and you have those who have gone before you surrounding you and they have welcomed you home. I love you, and there's nothing you can do about it.  It's been a plum, pleasing pleasure! Until we meet again  cousin,  kiss momma and the other elders for me!
Pat

Mr. Ollie was a wonderful man, a great neighbor and a kind spirit. 
He will be greatly missed.
Our deepest sympathy to the Horne family.

It would be hard to imagine my 30 years at the Memphis VA Medical Center without  Mr.  Ollie Horne.  The level of excellence he demonstrated both in the quality of and dedication to his work in the pathology department cannot be overstated.  He always conducted himself with dignity and professionalism.  I am honored to have known and worked with him.  My deepest sympathy to his family.  

Ollie was such a wonderful man who brought so much joy to so many people. The thing I remember the most about him was his kind spirit. You could see the kindness in his eyes and smile. He was always the one to brighten the day. 
May God keep you.

RIP Ollie.

The Ambassador of the VA Medical Center will be truly missed Mr. Ollie  showed Godly love to everyone to came across.  The VA Medical Center Lab wasn’t the same when he retired. And in his famous words I loved him and wasn’t nothing he could do about it   God open the gate for one of his MAIN Soldier ☦️

Mr. Ollie the most gracious man I ever met.
And his faith was undeniable.  He loved everyone and everyone loved him. His favorite statement: I love you and there ain’t nothing you can do about it 🙏🏾❤️

I remember Ollie as a humble  person. His smile would lighten a dark room.  I enjoyed his visits to Christian Spring.
