Joe was a great guy and co-worker. I played softball with Joe back in the seventies and we share some great times together. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him

Dear Carol and family,
I remember Joe bringing irish soda bread each year on st. patrick's day;
I remember going with him to tour the intrepid when he was the CFC coordinator; i remember how much he enjoyed the christmas parties at IRS; and I remember meeting up with you and him at sloan right after his treatment in europe (at E. 53 St). You were both optimistic until the end. What a model for me!

A brother, a friend, a best man, a fellow traveller in life, Joe was real and genuine in all that he did. I will miss him greatly and always. May he rest in peace and be proud that he affected us all in a meaningful way that each of us will remember fondly. Someday we will meet again.

Joe and I were managers at the IRS together, but I met him years before when I first became a large case agent in Manhattan. He was a wonderful person, full of fun and kindness. I was very, very saddened to hear of his passing. I pray for strength and peace for his family in this difficult time. Know that he is in a better place and his smiling eyes will always be watching over you.

To: Mrs. Horn and Family,
I am honored to have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Joe for a short while. Whenever I had a chance to see him here in Chicago, he always greeted me with a smile. It was obvious to me that Joe was a gentleman and a good guy straight from the heart. I am sure he blessed so many that came into his presence. Believing that Joe is in a peaceful everlasting sleep, know that it is well. Joe will be missed. Praying for comfort and peace for the Horn Family. Be Uplifted.

Dear Carol and family,
I knew Joe in various capacities throughout our careers, but we worked most closey together building the Quality Assurance function over the last 5 years of our careers. He was always a gentleman with a kind heart and supportive nature. We have all been blessed by knowing him and will miss him very much. I know it's very difficult to accept his loss, especially for his family that meant so much to him. I hope that knowing that he's in a better place helps ease the pain. Please believe that he will always be with you in spirit. My sincerest condolences on your loss.

I was a member of Joe Horn's group from 1989 to 2000. I will always remember Joe as a true gentleman. During this time period and after, Joe and I became not only collegues on the job but also good friends. I will recall years ago when I was sick and had to be out of work for a long period of time, Joe was very understanding and told me that my health and family was more important than anything else. I will never forget the warmth Joe provided me and allowed me to heal without rush. This is truly a deep loss to me. I will always remember Joe. I loved him and will always love him dearly. My prayers will always be there for Joe.

Joe was truly a very good man. Through the years that I worked for him, with him, it always struck me that Joe had his priorities in order – the person first, your family then the job.
