Wake set for restaurateur, Advertiser columnist
Advertiser Staff
Tom Horton, former columnist for The Honolulu Advertiser who died last Nov. 26 in San Francisco, will be remembered in a wake and memorial service at 5 p.m. Thursday at Murphy's Bar & Grill in downtown Honolulu.Horton, who also was a restaurateur in Honolulu and in Stinson Beach in Marin County, was a lifelong writer who succumbed to cancer. He was 66.
He also was a frequent visitor to Honolulu with his wife, Karen, and their daughter Kate. They will be here for the celebration of his life.
Horton was 33 when he joined The Advertiser as a three-dot columnist, moving here from Sacramento. He was a connoisseur of haute cuisine and fine wines, and briefly operated Epicurean Consensus in Puck's Alley with chef-friend Yves Moneret.
Don Murphy, a friend of Horton's, said Horton never missed a visit to Murphy's whenever he visited.
"I would guess that he never missed any Irish hangout wherever he was," Murphy said.
