A Tribute to City Manager Bill Horne

Bill Horne was Clearwater’s city manager. His unexpected passing on August 14 has shocked our community. He exemplified the essence of leadership, exercising firm yet dignified grace. He earned the respect of all who knew him, both as an accomplished City Manager and as a man of faith. All who had the honor of knowing Bill will miss his easy manner, quick smile and measured opinions.

Bill appeared on The Kelly Kelly Show a number of times. As a tribute, we are posting his last interview with us on April 12, 2021. He talked about his role as city manager, his family, his military service in a number of countries and his retirement plans.

Rest in paradise, Bill, your legacy is being a role model for us all.
