[[Obituary:
Richard S. Horr, who grew up on Long Island and spent the rest of his life on or close to the water, died Feb. 28, 2003, of complications from pneumonia. He was 51.
Born Sept. 26, 1951, the son of Carolyn Devoe Horr Leach and Murton Leach, Mr. Horr attended Portland schools and then joined the Army, serving in the Army Security Agency in Vietnam and Washington, D.C.
"He was proud to serve," said his wife, Marianna Valls Horr. "But like a lot of Vietnam veterans, he had a hard time talking about it, and really didn't elaborate much."
Back in Portland, Mr. Horr embarked on a 30-year career in the seafood industry, working first as a ground fisherman and then as general manager of North Atlantic Seafoods and, finally, as operations manager of Casco Bay Lobster Co. and Cozy Harbor Seafoods. "He just loved the ocean very much," his wife said.
Another of Mr. Horr's passions was music, which he enjoyed listening to and playing. A self-taught guitarist, he once led the rock band Masquerade, which played clubs in Portland and elsewhere.
In recent years, his musical tastes matured. Rather than listening to classic rock 'n' roll from the '70s and '80s, he began to favor contemporary Christian music, bands such as Mercy Me and Avalon.
However, Mr. Horr's playing days were limited by illness. Diagnosed with renal failure in 2001, he underwent 13 grueling months of dialysis treatment. Even after a kidney transplant - the organ was donated by Annie Whittemore, a friend of his wife - he lacked the energy to play and compose music as much as he would have liked.
"Last summer, he put on a concert for Long Island with the help of other band members, and he was trying to prepare a show for this summer," his wife said.
Five years ago, Mr. Horr and his wife became involved in the Fresh Air Fund, a program that gives children from urban areas a chance to spend two weeks during the summer in suburban or small- town communities.
"Really, it was an opportunity for these kids to have fresh air, and we enjoyed their company very much," his wife said. "They were very special to us and we felt we were blessed to have a summer home on Long Island."
Soon after his diagnosis, Mr. Horr began attending Stroudwater Christian Church, introduced to the church by his sister-in-law. He occasionally sang at the church and last April he and his wife were baptized there together.
"Rick just thought it was time to seek and be a part of the church and we went together," she said. "He found a friend and a family at the church."
