He was born here, a son of Dana and Anna Malia Horr, and attended Chebeague Island and Portland schools. For many years, Mr. Horr worked as a rigger and carpenter in the Portland area. He was known as a very caring and helpful man. Surviving are his wife of 45 years, Barbara (Collins) Horr of Portland; a son, Michael of Windham; four daughters, Barbara Dusablon of Vermont, Diane DeVou of Hollis, Catherine DiPietrantonio of Portland and Patricia Davis of Londonderry, N.H.; four brothers, Jim of Westbrook, Bob, Dana and David, all of Portland; two sisters, Shirley Doughty of Harpswell and Margaret Presnell of Tennessee; nine grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Visiting hours will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. Tuesday at Hay and Peabody Funeral Home, 749 Congress St., followed by a funeral service at 2 p.m. Burial will be in Forest City Cemetery, South Portland. Portland Newspapers Dec 5, 1997 The body of a Portland man was plucked from the mouth of Portland Harbor Thursday afternoon, several hours after his wife reported him missing from their North Street home. Maine State Police said Richard Horr, 67, appeared to have a gunshot wound when he was found in the water about 1:30 p.m. But investigators say the death is not being treated as a homicide. "At this time, we're going to label this a non-suspicious death, but the official cause will be determined by the Medical Examiner (Friday)," Lt. Dale Lancaster said late Thursday. A worker at the Gulf Oil Terminal spotted the body in waters near the South Portland side of Portland Harbor, said South Portland Police Chief Edward Googins. Police were called, as was the U.S. Coast Guard, which pulled the body from the water. Horr's body was placed on a pier owned by Gulf Oil, which operates a tanker off-loading facility and tank farm where the harbor empties into Casco Bay. The state police mobile crime lab was brought in, photos were taken, and evidence was collected. But, a key clue to the man's identity came from paperwork. Investigators culled through missing persons reports and found one filed in Portland that appeared to match the man found in the water. Lancaster said Barbara Horr reported her husband missing Thursday morning. She last saw her husband the day before, about 9:30 a.m., he said. Police would not comment on where or how Horr landed in the water, where he was shot or how investigators came to the conclusion the death is not suspicious. "We're not going to go into that," Lancaster said Thursday night. "There are still some things that need to be looked into."
