Take comfort in knowing that Mr. Horn is now with the love of his life. His pain is over on this earth. As he once told me " he is in a much better place and the pain is over". As you move forward remember the words that your Dad spoke himself to me. Mr. Horn had such snoothing words. Love to you all. Liz Bailey and family

To the Horn family I was saddened to hear about your loss. Although it has been years since I've seen Mr. Horn, I have many fond memories of him, as well as his wife (Dorothy) and soul mate. I remember spending many evenings at his house visiting Lorrie where he always made me feel welcomed and had a sense of humor that made life fun around him. I'm especially appreciative of his help in my early career where he built my confidence to become a draftsman, and even helped me find a job at Cameron Iron Works, where he also worked. This experience ultimately provided me the knowledge I needed after completing college to further my career. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that Mr. Horn made a difference in people's lives, and will be remembered by all. He was a great guy!
