James Van Horn
December 18, 1942 — October 24, 2013
James Van Horn, 70, went to be with the Lord on October 24, 2013 after a lengthy, courageous battle with lung cancer. He was born on December 18, 1942.
Jim retired from Toledo Scale in 1985 after 23 years of service as a Balancer. He also retired from Chrysler Trenton Engine after 15 years as Corporate Auditor. Jim was a member of the Sylvania Moose Lodge 1579, VFW Buddy Frankowski Post 5530, Jim and Lou's Sportsman Club and the UAW. He was a life-long hunter and avid fisherman on Lake Erie. Jim traveled all over the US and parts of Canada to hunt and fish with his childhood buddies. He graduated from Macomber High School the night his daughter was born. It was very important to Jim for all of his grandchildren to finish college and he supported and encouraged them while they accomplished their goals.
