Death notice for NWA Captain Bill Horne
William E. (Bill) Horne
February 13, 1940 ~ March 24, 2026
“To my friends formerly Northwest Orient now Delta, it is with deep sadness that I inform you of the passing of our friend Bill Horne. Bill started his pilot career with Northwest around the same time I started stewardess training in the 60's and we became fast friends, easy to do with that smiling face and fun personality. He had been struggling as of late with Alzheimer's and was living in a memory care facility close to his nieces, who lovingly cared for him. He passed on Monday morning with the girls with him and he requested no memorial or services. If you would like to send a card of condolence to his 'girls' as he referred to them, please p.m. me for the address. R.I.P. my friend, it was a great ride.💔”
