Admiral Charles Francis Horne III

I was a Private in UNCSG-JSA when i met the Admiral. He was an outstanding officer that made time to talk with the grunts in the JSA . I have thought of him often over the years . It was an honor to serve at JSA and under the Admiral's command . In Front Of Them All Sir .

Because of the Navy life travels we lose track of wonderful people we had the pleasure of knowing. I just Happened to come across this obituary and was shocked that The Admiral passed away. My husband Dennis Roeber LCDR at the time was Admiral´s writer at Com Warfare in Charleston S. C. After many years in the Navy Dennis retired in 1991 as a CMDR What caught my attention was that before we moved to Florida to retire we found Admiral Horne alive in MT.Pleasant. Dennis got sicker on our move...

ADM Horne was my CO on the USS PUGET Sound in the middle seventies. At that time, I was a young 20 yr old enlisted man. I also went on to a career in the Navy, becoming a physician after being enlisted and retiring after 30 years. In all that time, ADM Horne was the only CO that I can remember. ADM Horne was an outstanding CO, and even though I am but one of thousands of men and women who served in his command I do believe his example started me on this path. For that, I will always be...

Such a Pleasure meeting the Admiral in November 2017. I was President of the Mt. Pleasant Exchange Club and Honored Admiral Horne at our Veterans Appreciation Luncheon.

The United States Flag flying over Shem Creek Crab House Dock is in Memory and...

I will never forget the great kindness shown me by Admiral Horne and his wife many years ago. My profound sympathy to Carolyn and Charles.

We are so sorry to hear of The Admirals passing. It was a pleasure to live next door to him and get to know him. He was a great man who will be missed.
Sincerely,

I served under Admiral Horne for 3 1/2 years at COMINEWARCOM. He was the strongest advocate for Mine Warfare that community ever had. He was fearless and never backed down from spreading his Mine Warfare message. While some may have questioned his approach at times, there was never any doubt concerning his sincerity and dedication to his task. I was privileged to have known and worked with him.

Fond memories of playing tennis with Chuck on the Charleston Navy Base courts in the 1980s---always competitive but lots of fun! A true gentleman and patriot. Condolences to the family.
