Glenn Horner Obituary
Glenn Arnold
Horner
Resident of Palo Alto
Age 72, passed away on 10/10/10 following a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. Born in Iowa, Glenn came to California in 1958 to work for Varian Associates where he remained until he retired at age 62 to move to the high desert of Arizona to pursue his passion for nature and photography.
Glenn returned to Palo Alto to be closer to his family as his memory began to fail him. A loving father and grandfather, Glenn made family, along with his faith, a priority in his life.
He is survived by his siblings; Fern Deuchar of San Carlos, CA, Howard Horner of Show Low, AZ and Ken Horner of San Jose, CA, his children Susan Graham, Michael Horner & David Horner, grandchildren; Andrew, John & Kristen Horner, Leilani & Kailani Graham and 2 precious great-grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held, Friday, Nov. 26th, 2:00pm at the Palo Alto JCC, 3921 Fabian Way, Palo Alto. In honor of Glenn please send donations to the Alzheimer's Fund via: http://glenn.horner.cc.

Glenn of blessed memory and I were neighbors when he moved to Stevenson House. We lived across the hall from one another and I was blesed with a wonderful friendship with him. Glen had a delicious sense of humor and a very playful inner child. How uncanny to get your email remembering Glann. Two days ago I was going through some loose photos and among them was a photo of the two of us doing some wild dancing at a Fourth of July celebration at Stevenson House. I hope you're having a wonderful fun filled life, Glenn, wherever you are. Love, Micki
