I was a student at SL and Mr. Horn was my math teacher. I was more impressed by his life than learning math. He was animated in class and handled every random situation with his sense of justice and FairPlay. That´s when we all began to learn math.
My heart turns to him in gratitude. I hope to meet him again very soon under much different circumstances.
Thank you my friend.

Mr. Horn,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USN during WW II as a member of the "Silent Service" aboard the submarine USS Lionfish(SS 298) which completed two combat patrols against the Japanese. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

The last time Carolyn and I were with Al and Jean was at Laura Anne's wedding. That was such a great weekend and Al's great sense of humor and his boundless vitality made that beautiful time even more joyous. Carolyn and I will remember Al in our evening prayers.
