Dave:
From a site called "Death-Record.com, I found a Gerald
Horton b 1932-09-30 d 1984-12-01 which seems like your man. This will
narrow the date to the 1st of December.

PS: The site's a teaser site that wants cash before they get beyond unsubstantiated details...

Hi Gerry:
Thanks. His wife, Joan Virginia Durant-Reid is back in Parrsboro I believe.
There was possibly an obit published in the local newspapers at the time but
I need to narrow down the gap to when he actually died.
Dec 1984 might do it.
