Thirty-eight years goes by fast; with too few visits and laughs. I'll remember Gil, not only as a hard-working, hard charging fighter, but also with that same zeal for what he cared about, and what made him happy. I am sincerely grateful for having worked with and known him. R.I.P. brother.
Diane And Family; Gil was a great friend and we loved going to dinner with you. Most of all he was my mentor. Doing Chemo together Gil, MIke, and myself. The Girls refered to us as the Three Muskerteers. Diane knowhat he is dong right now. He ison a bot with a beer in one hand and the fishing pole the other. Mike is with him along with oter lost friends.Love you Gil, Miss You Badly. John & Mimi

Diane and family, my deepest sympathy for your loss. Gil was such a brave soul throughout his long battle. It was truly an honor to have been a part of his healthcare team. I know in my heart he is now at peace and looking down as our guardian angel. Joyce Disbrow
Diane & Family, My sincere condolences go out to you and your family. I've known Gil for quite some time, good man great cop!!! He will truly be missed by all... Rest in peace Gil, say hi to John for me!!! With sympathy, Pat O'Connor
My dad used to remind me of a story about when I was 4 years old. It was before kindergarden. Another 4 year old had one of those car trycycles and peddled up to our house. He asked my dad if a little boy lived there and could he come out to play. That was the beginning of our friendship that lasted another 57 years. I know Gil wasn't a public figure in the traditional sense. When I see the speeches of Jim Valvano and Stuart Scott though I know he should be there with them for his courage, optimism and overall goodness. So proud to call him my friend.
Our condolences and prayers to the Horrach family. Gil was part of our Motor Vehicle family and we appreciate his contributions.
Gil, mi amigo, it seems like only yesterday that we were working cases together in Long Branch with Clarence Castle, Bobby Bataille, Pat King, Ralph DeFilipo, Rick Ferrante, Pat Joyce, Greg Crumrine, and all the other great people at LBPD. Descanse en paz.
My condolences and prayers for Diane and the Horrach family. It is truly an honor to have known Gil from the early days of softball to the recent times of the F.S. detail under MVC. Gil always possessed a positive attitude that brought out the best of all he encountered. Rest in Peace my friend.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Rest in Peace,Gilbert,you have done your part. Jules B.Wolfson #147 LBPD
Diane, Jill, Wilfred and family, My heart is breaking not only for the loss of my dear sweet friend Gil, but for all of you. Diane your love and strength you exhibited during Gil's illness taught me a lot. I hope you are able to find peace in knowing he really loved you to pieces and he isn't suffering any longer. Thank you for loving him and giving him 6 great years. May his soul rest in peace and God bless all of you. Michele

Well what can you say about a person like Gill. All of us were better to know a person like him. When myself, my wife,and my family met Gill we knew we had a friend for life. When I was able to meet his family I knew He was blessed. To all of you in Gills family I know how much this pain is. All I can say is when my family was in the same pain of this vicious disease Gill was a voice of support, love, and strength to myself and my family and that is the person he is. We miss you Gill and you will always be in our hearts

Gil and I both started police work the same year, he in long Branch and me in Monmouth Beach. We worked side by side on many occasions during our carriers. We also played softball together and hung out after work sometimes. He was a good friend and a very positive person. He helped many along the way and would always go the extra mile. I will miss our conversations and our short talks. Thank you for all that you have done during your short time here. RIP my friend and say hi to Flip for me. Your friend always; Chief White

”A Time to Weep” Ecclesiastes 7:2 says: “Better is it to go to the house of mourning than to go to the banquet house, because that is the end of all mankind; and the one alive should take it to his heart.” There is “a time to weep.” (Ecclesiastes 3:4) Yes, the greatest man who ever lived openly “gave way to tears” when his friend Lazarus died. (John 11:35) Those that are broken at heart, who are crushed in spirit, or feel that they have nothing good to look forward to, know that God will respond to you like a loving parent who comforts a child in distress. He is near to his worshipers who cry out to him for help, and is eager to comfort and soothe your broken heart and crushed spirit. God can give you the wisdom and strength needed to cope with any trials you may face. - 2 Corinthians 4:7; James 1:5. Our compassionate heavenly father promises: “I reside with the one crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly ones and to revive the heart of the ones being crushed.”- Isaiah 57:15. So, be patient just a little while longer, help is on the way. Yes, “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” - Revelation 21:4. A trustworthy promise, given us by our now reigning King - Jesus Christ. Gilbert Horrach would oftentimes display the fruitage of God’s spirt identified by the Apostle Paul at Galatians 5:22, that is, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, and self-control. To his wife Diane, his daughter Jill and other family members, please accept my heartfelt condolence for your loss. I had a great deal of respect and fondness of him. Sincerely, Trent A. Davis, Sr. – BES Classmate 1968
