By deepest sympathy. NCHS graduate with me. Give my regards to his father. I still remember the yellow vette

Jim lived a couple blocks from me in highschool and we were college roommates at UW.  Deepest sympathies

Dear Horse,
You always had to be number one . . . thru the S curves, skiing at Teton Village, intramural sports, graduating HS at age 16.  You were my best friend, my quarterback, my idol, my best man, my confidant.  Your trips to Alaska were too infrequent and short, but you got to experience a small portion including Intricate Bay, the Chuitt, Klutina River and Lake Louise.  I miss you man!  And, I know the Beta Sigs and the Frogs will miss you too.  So, I'll see you on the great river in the sky.  And, if we have a free weekend, maybe we can split another one like we did at FHDC.

I was and remain a friend of Jim. I used to live in Fort Collins and played a lot of tennis with Jim. Although I have not seen him since 1998, he remained and always will remain in my mind as a good person and a good friend. My condolences to his family.

Ellen, Ashley and Colin,
What a wonderful loving husband and father Jim was.  I once thought Darcy and Dayne broke bones just so they could spend time with Dr. Horstman.  He was a kind, warm loving man with a smile that made scary situation not so bad.  He will be dearly missed.
Jeff, Cheryl, Darcy, Dayne and Dylan Allbrandt

Dear Mrs. Horstman and children,
I am an RN with PVH and overcome with grief in the passing of this wonderful man Jim.  By reading this quest book I can see that he has touched so many lives like he touched mine. I worked with him on the Orthopedic Unit and he performed several surgeries on my father.  Dr. Hortstman showed so much compassion for my father, not only because he was his patient, but also because he was a WWII vet. Dr. Horstman wanted to buy my father a book from Tom Brocka about the war and I could tell that he felt compelled to sit for hours to talk with Dad about his experiences. I was so touched by his nature and presence, the respect he gave me and his ""knuckle hand shakes"". I am truly torn by his passing! Mrs. Horstman, you are a very lucky woman to have a history with him and to have been loved by him sooo much, I'm sure you count your blessings of the time you had to-gether.  I met you when Jim was in the hospital on the Onc. unit, a few of us ""ortho"" nursing were going crazy to see him. You both allowed us to come in and give him love. As I hugged him he layed his head on me and let me rub LOVE to his head. He absorbed our love for him and thanked us. Thank you for allowing us to share our love to the both of you. My dad and I were lucky to be in the office his first day back from surgery, he gave us warm hugs and we shared tears, really only I was crying, Jim just smiled and enjoyed the thoughts. 
We were all so blessed by a man like him, and we are lucky to have your children to carry on his legacy.
God Bless you all, I will have all of you in my heart forever.
Trudy Charboneau
RN PVH/MCR.

I was very sorry to learn of Dr. Horstman's passing. He was a very caring and considerate doctor to me.  I will miss him.  My condolences to his family

To the Horstman Family:
Although I didn't get to work with Dr. Horstman for very long, during the time I was employed at OCR it was indeed a pleasure. I did transcription of his office notes and surgical reports. What a nice, caring, kind-hearted man! I shall always remember his beautiful smile! I will also remember that whenever there was something he wanted to spell that started with an ""E"", he always said ""that's E, as in Ellen""! He truly loved his wife and family. God Bless all of you during this time!

Dear Ellen and family, I am so sorry about the passing on of Jim. He was a very good and kind man. The world is going to be an emptier place without his laugh. I regret that we never got together after the remodel but I hope you two were happy with what was done. If you ever need anything, even if it's some chat time, don't hesitate to call. 970 484 1447 All our luv and the best. Ron & Bobbie

Dear Horstman Family,
His never ending smile inspires us as parents, that life and family is precious and our time is to be cherished. We think so highly of Jim and we pray for comfort to your family during this tough time.

Dear Ellen, Ashley and Colin,
We were deeply saddened by the loss of Jim. He was a great person and physician. We will always remember his smile and his true love of the outdoors and his family. 
Our love and prayers are with you all.
It was a true blessing to have known him.
With sympathy and love,
David and Kathy Black

Its sad to have someone who lived life so well leave us so soon,  but all who knew Jim had their lives enriched in some measure.  Our thoughts and condolences are with you and your family. Sincerely,

Another UW grad who loves skiing, golfing and cycling, and thanks to Dr. Horstman, is now able to enjoy all of them - again.

We want to let you know that we have had all of you in our prayers through this tough time in your lives.  We always appreciated Dr. Horstman so much for his superb professional abilities in all the care he gave our family.  He was always so upbeat & had a contagious smile.  We enjoyed sharing stories & adventures of the mountains & the Zirkel Wilderness area.
  May God give your family the peace that only He can give to help help you through this difficult time.
 Lynn & Cindy Seger, Paul Seger, Kendra Seger, Kay(Seger)& Mike Wolever & Macie

We were very sorry to hear of Dr. Horstman's passing.  He did a duel knee replacement on Bob on May 25, 2005 and did a perfect job.  Dr. Horstman was a wonderful, caring person--the very best.  He will be missed by many.

Ellen: Sending you and your family our deepest sympathy. Jim was a great doctor. Steve will miss his smiles in the hallways at PVH.

In 1991, Dr. Horstman fixed my ACL, for which I will be forever grateful.  He was a wonderful surgeon and person.

I only had one experience with Dr. Horstman but I will never forget it as he was a wonderful person. He operated on my knee one day and it is perfect and it was perfect right after he operated. Such a kind man and he will be missed geatly.

Dr. Horstman will be missed by many. Always a smile and such a great talent. The PVH ER will always appreciate the kindness he brought to each of us and each of the patients he came to help. So sorry for the loss of a great man.

I just wanted to say that Dr. Horstman will be truly missed. He was our team doc at CSU when I first started as an assistant athletic trainer at the tender age of 23. He was always so respectful to me and treated me as a professional. I learned so much from him in those first few years under ""FRED."" He is a truly caring man and I am glad to say that I knew him. I was lucky enough to see him a few weeks before he passed away....he looked great and was actually on his way in to play tennis at Miramont. I am glad that he got to live like Dr. Horstman likes to live right up until the end. God bless the Horstman family and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Ellen,Ashley,and Collin- Lyndsey and I will always remember the fun times we had on those family vacations when the kids were young. And the fun adult parties! We laughed and enjoyed life--Jim was so good at that. He is, and was unforgetable.  Old Friends, Karen and Lyndsey Larson

Ellen,Colin and Ashley
Our visits to Colorado will never be the same without seeing Jim.  Always there with a great laugh and a great story.  We have you in our thoughts and prayers. The leather bound Cabelas catalog and fly fishing gear will always make me stop and think of Jim.

We are thinking of you and your family and praying for you to be surrounded by love and comfort at such a difficult time.  Jim was such a kind and giving man.  We will miss him.

Ellen & Family,
My sincere condolences for your loss. Jim was a very good man and I will miss seeing him on visits to OCR. I had occasion to visit with him a year ago. We had not seen each other for over ten years and he acted as if no time had passed at all. Just a great guy. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Ellen, and family: 
My thoughts are with you all. May memories of better times sustain you now.
Faye Germain

I shall miss Dr Horstman's sweet nature.  I worked with him in the PVH OR.  He lite the room when he entered, he was always smiling and very pleasant, even in the middle of the night when on call.  
My condolences to the family who will miss his sweet nature even more.

Dear Ellen and family,
Jim was a man that truely made his life count on many different levels. We were all fortunate to know this gentleman and the memory of his life will not fade soon. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Ellen and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you're going through and how this last year has been for you. The service today was full of tears and smiles. He certainly knew how to live life to its fullest. The stories today from his good buddies were wonderful. They reminded me of my brother who died unexpectantly 8 years ago; he was also a physician as well as a Mountain Dew addict. 
My deepest sympathy to all of you. 
Sincerely, Jo Waldo

Ellen, Ashley and Colin
Jim was truly one special man.  I will always remember his kind words and calm spirit.  It was a privilege to know him. I will miss his beauitful smile !!

Dr. Horstman was a man that truly brought opportunity, strength, and motivation to my life.  My first encounter with him was in High School, when I blew out my knee while doing pre-season drills for baseball at Rocky Mountain High School.  By the time I had last seen him, he had completely rebuilt my left knee and done other surgeries to correct many things.
Dr. Horstman enabled me to accomplish my greatest physical feat to date:  the Habitat 500, which ended up being 575 miles in 7 days.  I wrote him a thank you and sent a picture to show him what his work and encouragement had done for me.
Dr. Horstman will certainly be a legacy in our family and I wish his family the best in healing from such a loss.
Thank you, Dr. Horstman, and may you rest in peace.

Hi Ellie:
I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I tried everything to get out there for the memorial. Please let me know if there's anything that we can do. Jim was a great mentor of mine.
Doug

Ellen, Ashley & Colin,
I'm very sorry for your loss
My prayers are with you.
Connie

Mrs. Horstman,
I only knew Jim because he operated on my arm to fix a bicep tendon and heard of his fishing skills through mutual friends.  I was sorry to hear of his death but I was honored you asked us to help with the service for him.  What a tribute!!!!!  It brought so many people together to take time to celebrate life in general.  It sounds like Jim sure knew how to live life to it's fullest and threw a bit of humor in most situations.  My thougts are with you and your family.
Rick Allnutt

I was sorry to hear the news. Your husband was a great man. I met you a few years ago after a Rocky vs. Poudre football game in which I was with Dr. Grey and we met at a place for a bite to eat.  We've prayed over the past few years for healing for your husband and now we'll pray for you and your kids.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  He was a good man.  You will be in our prayers and thoughts.

Dearest Ellen and Children,
We are praying for you all that your greif be softed some, by knowing of the deep love so many of us all feel for you and Jim and the kids.
God keep you near him at this time. 
Love always, Sylvia,Ani,Joseph and Rachel Akmakjian

Ellen, Ashley and Colin
I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing and I am truly sorry for your loss.  I take solice in knowing that every person that Jim's life touched (including mine) is better for it.  In reflecting on how many prople he has served and touched over his time here, his influence can't be easly measured.  Jim is a great man and part of a great family.  All the best to all of you.  Thoughts, prayers and love to all of you.
Matt and Jacque Johannsen

Dear Ellen,Ashley and Colin;
Jim was a great friend,physician,and a man's man.Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Ellen,Ashley and Colin,
We are so sorry to hear about Jim's death. The loss of such a wonderful husband and father .. and just a great guy is so difficult.  We were not aware of any illness, so I am sure it has been a tough battle.  Although, we did not stay in touch regularly,last being in August 2003, he was always the same man, humble and interested in ""how everything was going for you"".Ashley,I will always give your Dad the credit for getting Brig into CHI O, he put in the good word to you about the girl from Nebraska whose Dad he knew.  And who said  Mom's have all the pull for that sorority stuff.  We proved them wrong!  We will keep you in our prayers and  always try to stay in touch through Christmas notes.  Love, Jerry and Mary   Brigitte and Aaron

Ellen, Ashley, and Colin,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss.  When I think of your family, a smile comes to my face.  I loved chatting it up with Jim at the Hawkeye Court parties.  He was such a special person and kind man.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dr H, you will be missed.  No words can express the sadness at the loss of one of the bright lights in my life that I have had the honor and privilege of working with and getting to know.  My prayer is for the care and well being of your loving family.  
Sincerely
Bobby D

Jeanne and I have spent the past few days reflecting on times we shared with Jim.  We both worked with Jim for many years and realize the contributions to his profession and to his partners will go unmatched.  As friends, we shared many activities together including scuba diving, sailing trips, fly fishing, and of course golf.  Jim was and will continue to be an inspiration that we will never forget.  Jim, we  love you.
Ellen, you are in our thoughts and Jeanne and I share the grief of the loss of this wonderful man.
Scott & Jeanne

Dear Ellen, Ashley and Colin,
It is very difficult to say how sorry we are for the loss of such a good man as Jim.  We always picture him with a smile on his face and appreciate his fine and generous spirit.  Some of our most treasured memories of life in Ft Collins are our Easter mornings with all of you.  Even after we left, Jim would email us pictures of everyone gathered together and that kindness was greatly appreciated.  The world has been greatly diminished by the loss of his presence. We feel very fortunate to have known Jim and will always remain grateful for the experience!
With love,
Jane, David, Michael and Lesley

Dear Ellen and Family,
I was so very sorry to hear of your loss.  It brings a smile to my face picturing times spent with you when I lived in F.C. and it brings sadness to my heart picturing your loss.  Ellen, my prayers are with you and your children.  God Bless.  Love, Carol

I worked with Dr. Horstman at the CSU Health Center - I'm an x-ray tech.  He was always pleasant and easy to work with.  I'm very sorry for your loss.

As a nurse, I have worked with Dr. Horstman for about 30 years at PVH and OCR.  He had an infectious smile and was one of the kindest and respected physicians I have met in my nursing career.  He treated all with respect and made people feel as if what they had to say was the most important thing of the day.  His skills as a surgeon were excellent.  I will miss seeing him and his sense of humor.  My prayers go out to his family.    diane

Dear Ashley and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
-Megan Wiese

Jim was a good friend.  I will miss the hours on the golf course and our long discussions about fly fishing in Wyoming.  I always looked forward to being with Jim because he was pathologically optimistic and he radiated that feeling to all those near him.  Jim, we ate the scorpion together and I look forward to wetting a line with you again someday.  Ellen, Vickie and I share your grief for the loss of this great man.
								Brooks Mitchell

Dear Ellen. Ashley and Colin,
I know you are already aware of how great a man Jim was.  There are a lot of people who loved him and you as well.  We thank God for people in our lives such as he was because they enrich all of our lives. I know you and his many friends will forever have him in your hearts.  May God bless you all.  My heart-felt condolences go to you.
Richard Booth

I was very sad to hear the news of Dr. Horstman's passing.  I worked with him as an RN at PVH for 10 years and he was an excellent Orthopedic surgeon.  He also did surgery on my mother's shoulder and she had only great things to say about him. I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear Ellen,
I worked with Dr. Horstman at OCR for several years.  We did road cycling (my forte)on several occasions.  I was training for racing, but Dr. Horstman could always push me on the hills just because he was such a natural athlete. Once, he finally talked me into going mtn. biking. I was apprehensive, but he assured me we'd only be on ""easy fire roads"" and loaned me your non suspension mtn.bike since I didn't even own one. ""You'll be OK without suspension"" he said with that wry grin of his.  He and Dr. Coupens took me up to Horstooth park and we began climbing (which I did without problem).  But we just kept going up to the microwave tower and then he and Dr. Coupens went screaming down in descent.  I was dragging my foot and hanging on for dear life since I had no descending skills (nor, as I then realized, suspension to keep me from beating up my wrists).  When we got to the bottom, Dr. Horstman and Dr. Coupens were just laughing at my distress since they both had the technique (and suspension) to just descend like maniacs.  I came home and iced my wrists.  It was the only time I ever mountain biked.
Ellen:  I enjoyed working with him.  He's a great guy.  It was always good to see him smiling and he was very approachable when dealing with patient care. Whenever I heard him say your name,I just got this sense of his affection for you in the way he said it.  I know you'll miss him. I won't be able to make the service tomorrow, but my thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Ellen, Ashley & Colin,
I am so very sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  My heart goes out to all of you, as I know this must be an extremely painful time.  I used to babysit Ashley & Colin and I've thought of you all so many times over the years.  
God bless you all,
Heather (Scott) Burris

I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Horstman performed my son's ACL surgery in 2004. He was more than a great surgeon, he was a kind and compassionate man. He will be missed by all those who had the pleasure of meeting him. 
              Sincerely,
              Sherri Dunn & family

I have worked for many years at OCR and have always had the highest respect for Dr. Horstman. I will remember his sense of humor, his sincere caring regard for all people he came in contact with, his positive ""how can we fix it"" attitude. He will be greatly missed.
Prayers and blessings to his family.

Ellen and Family:
Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Ellen, Ashley, and Colin:
Our entire family sends our heartfelt sympathy to you and yours.  Jim will be truly missed in our neighborhood, and throughout Fort Collins.  He was a positive influence to everyone he met, and so genuinely liked by all who knew him.   We are all thinking of you at this difficult time.  
Most sincerely,  
Jeanie, John, Chris and Alex Aronson

Dear Ellen, Ashley, and Colin,
   I remember your husband/father fondly as a great Bennett School parent.  Ashley, you were in my second grade classroom.  I also met him at the clinic on occasion, and regarded him highly as a doctor as well.  My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Janie Arnold

Dear Ellen, Ashley and Colin, Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Jim and your Dad. Ellen I wish that I could be there to give you a big hug. Take care and I will see you soon. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, Martin and Nikole Johns

We feel deeply the loss of one of our favorite doctors.  What a friendly caring person he was. We will miss Dr. Horstman!  May he rest in peace.

It was always a feeling of good will being around Jim, whether it was on the tennis court or a impromptu meeting at the football or basketball games.  His modest bravery in face of his illness was humbling.  I will miss him.

Jim was a good man and I will truely
miss him, John Cronin

What a great doc.  Definitely one of our favorites.  Just after returning to PVH after 11 years, I was assigned as his circulator in the OR.  I was setting up his arthroscope when he had me turn up the speed of the saline infusion and proceeded to squirt me from head to toe!  He was always in a good mood and we loved him for it.  He will be forever missed.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! If there is anything we can do, please let us know. Your husband and father took care of one of our sons, and was always so kind and warm. We truly appreciated him and enjoyed talking with him. We are truly sad! Sincerely yours, Mark and Ingrid Tegtman, & family

Dear Ellen and family,
Our hearts go out to you during this very difficult time.  I will certainly miss his great sense of humor and the fun times we had both on the golf course and in the clinic. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. 
With our love,
The Lockwood family

We just wanted you to know that we are thinking of all of you at this time.  Our prayers are with you.  We just heard about Jim and are out of town until Monday and will miss his service in person but be there in spirit. Jim was a very special person; never arrogant though he had the skills to be arrogant, never condescending though he had every right to be. He treated everyone as   his best friend and the only one that counted at that moment, and had a joy of life we can only hope to imitate. We share your sorrow. Love Susie and Stan

I am an OR nurse at PVH and worked with Dr Horstman for 5 years. While I did not know him well, I loved to talk about sports with him. He told me about the marathon he ran during residency. He was always kind to ask what next adventure I had next. I remember after his surgery, he came to the OR and the first thing he asked me was what crazy race I was going to do next.It made me laugh! Dr Duncan, Dr Durbin and 4 others, including myself, completed the Wild West Relay (a 195mi relay run to Steamboat)  just after he asked me that question. I gave him my finishing shirt, knowing he would have loved to have been part of our team. We all thought of him often in those 36 hrs of running. He touched a lot of people.
Stacy Abernathy

Colin, Ashley, and Ellen,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the loss (from this life only!) of your dad and husband.  I've always thought the world of him, as well as all of you.  God's blessings as you all travel through this major transition.

Ellen~Ashley~Colin
The Marin's (Mike-Peggy-Dani-Robbie) are so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. We did not realize he was ill. Our memories as neighbors, friends, and the tennis matches (which he always seemed to win) was  of a wonderful smiling man devoted  to his family- the most nobel to be said of any man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you- may God hold you close. The Marin's

Dear Ellen and family:  I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  I know he was a fighter to the end and was a dedicated friend and family man. The world could use more Jim Hostman's.  I will keep you and the kids in my thoughts and prayers and may God give you the strength you will need to carry on.  I know you have one of the best friends around in my sister Patty and I know she and Lee are suffering also.  Jim and the Lord will now have a close relationship.
With Sympathy, Betty Tomlinson

I was very sorry to hear about Jim's passing.  Let me extend to the family my deapest condolences.  I knew Jim through tennis, as we played several seasons on the same team.  It was a pleasure to know him, his positive attitude, and his high five's for a greating whenever he saw you.   He will be missed by all, and our prayers will be with you.

To the family of Dr. Horstman: I am saddened at the loss of your beloved husband, father and son. Please accept my deepest condolences and know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ellen and Family,  
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Not only is this a huge loss to you and your family it is also a huge loss  to PVHS and the community.  We will miss his humor and ever present sense of humor.

I am so sorry to learn of Dr Horstman's passing.  He did my ACL surgery in 1993 and I am pleased to say this is the only time I had to use his services.  I have constantly referred others with knee problems to him.  Although my surgery was conducted 14 years ago, I still remember that he treated me with the utmost respect and was very effective in communicating information to me. He left an everlasting impression on a patient.  I am certain that his family was blessed with his kindness and humor often.  Hold tight to these sweet memories.  He is smiling down on you and you will see his smiling face again.

Dear Ellen, Ashley and Colin, 
We are very sorry for your loss.  I worked with your father for 7 1/2 years at OCR in the operating room; he tought me a great deal and became a good friend.  I will miss his knuckle hits, dry tuna sandwiches with a Mountain Dew!  His greatest stories were of his family and fly fishing.  My husband Bob shares the same Wyoming connection with your dad.  He will be missed very much.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Bob and Karen Carnahan

Dear Ellen, Ashley, and Colin,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and will be in the days and weeks to come.  Dr. Jim took care of my Mom and Dad, and my husband Ed Benedict.

We are so very sorry for your loss.
With much love,
