John (“Hans”) Horton

Robert Horton
PMCID: PMC1121828

Former general practitioner St Albans (b 1916; q St Mary's Hospital 1946), died peacefully on 30 October after a long illness.

Hans studied medicine in Vienna before going to St Mary's, where he received glowing testimonials and was advised to pursue an academic career. But as he was a mature student with a young family, a career in general practice beckoned. Hans practised in St Albans for more than 30 years, doing sessions in minor surgery, and serving on the local medical committee. He could turn his hands or his mind to anything, building his own boat to sail in and his own classical guitar to learn on. Predeceased by his first wife, Anny, he leaves his second wife, Edith; two children; and three grandchildren.
