Neil Lewis Horn, a long-time resident of Maumee, Ohio passed unexpectedly Monday, September 9, 2024. He was born in Elyria, Ohio to the late James P and Louise (Reising) Horn September 21, 1946. He attended both grade school and high school in Elyria.

Neil received both his bachelor’s (1969) and master’s (1978) degrees in the University of Toledo College of Pharmacy where he was a member of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity. He went on to a more than 50-year career in retail pharmacy in the Toledo area, retiring from Walgreens in Perrysburg. He enjoyed his interactions with his customers and serving their needs.

Neil had an appreciation for the experiences that life offered as he enjoyed gardening, traveling, especially to Italy, family genealogy, and being an active grandfather. Perhaps his greatest joy was time spent at the events of his grandchildren.
