Senator Ayottes statement on the passing of retired NH Supreme Court Justice Sherman Horton, Jr.: “I am deeply saddened by the passing of Justice Horton, who was a dear friend and mentor to me. I had the privilege of clerking for Justice Horton, and I will always be grateful that he gave me my first job after finishing law school and taught me the importance of serving the people of New Hampshire. I had deep admiration for Justice Horton’s keen legal mind, his New Hampshire common sense, and his wonderful sense of humor. As a Navy veteran and later as a state Supreme Court justice, he served our state and our country with integrity and distinction, and he will long be remembered for his dedication to the legal profession and to the pursuit of justice. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.”
