Walter (Skip) Horne, 54, died on Monday, May 24, 2010 in Wichita Falls.  

Skip was born on August 9, 1055 in Wichita Falls to Archie and Polly (Brunson) Horne.  On April 23, 1993, Skip married Frances Lopez.  He worked at Patterson's Auto Group for the past 15 years, was the Finance Manager for Honda, and was looking forward to moving to their new location at the time of his death.  Skip thoroughly enjoyed long walks with his beloved pet and companion Rosie.  He was an avid music fan and especially loved classic rock.  Skip's family lovingly refers to him as a walking encyclopedia because of the wealth of information he could readily recall.  Skip was loved by all who knew him.  His sense of humor and sweet personality made him an irresistible person.  One thing he will always be remembered for is his big smile.
