Retired Judge Honored In Horsham Township

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —The township honored former Councilman Gregory Nesbitt at the end of the year. And now another Nesbitt has been honored.

Horsham Township Council paid its respects to recently retired District Justice Harry Nesbitt —Gregory's brother —at its meeting Wednesday night with a proclamation for his 24 years of dedicated service to the residents.

"As Montgomery County Magisterial Judge, Mr. Nesbitt has always prided himself on his fairness and lifelong service to Horsham Township, which profoundly impacted our community," Horsham officials said. "We extend our heartfelt congratulations on his well-deserved retirement."

At its last council meeting of the year, the township honored three departing councilmen, including Gregory Nesbitt, who resigned at the end of December 2021 after 19 years on the council.

Harry Nesbitt was recently replaced as District Justice by former state Rep. Todd Stephens.

Nesbitt's proclamation stated that he started his judicial tenure in the township in the year 2000 and his entire career in Horsham and nearby Fort Washington in Upper Dublin Township.

He was uncontested during his remaining tenure on the bench, township officials said.

Prior to becoming judge, Nesbitt owned and operated a pre-press company for more than 15 years. Nesbitt was raised in Horsham and is a graduate of Hatboro-Horsham High School.

Stephens now serves Hatboro and Horsham as a judge following a court consolidation in Montgomery County.
