William John Horton (The Hawk) 85, of Lakewood died on February 16, 2018. He was born, March 17, 1932 in Alamosa, CO to Ralph and Leta Horton. Bill was a 4th generation, Colorado native with his family roots originating in the Southwestern Colorado town of Lake City, in the heart of the rugged San Juan Mountain range. Bill’s early years were in Alamosa and moved to Denver right before the seventh grade. He spent nearly every summer from birth to his passing in Lake City. Bill’s Great Grandparents were early settlers in Hinsdale County. As a boy, Bill shared summer days with his Grandparents John & Emma Liska. He was the proud owner of 2 Donkeys, Jenny & Sid and a menagerie of dogs. The days were busy with chores supporting the tourist cabin business, fishing, family picnics, and just being a little boy. A few years later, Billy’s little sister Donna would join in the fun.
