I think of him fondly..my art Teacher at Shasta College in the 60's. I have one of his paintings and treasure it. He was a great inspiration.

Rest in peace and love. You have left a remarkable legacy. May the memory of all that was shared, bring comfort to family and friends.

I remember having Mr. Hornaday as an art teacher in shcool, I have fond thoughts of him. May he rest in peace.

"Beecher" was two years older but we were inseparable his last year in high school. We roomed my first year at Oklahoma and then I got married and He went off to Iowa. We had a marvelous youth together both benefiting from the relationship.

I am so sorry to learn of Dick's death. He was a family friend; I remember him well from my days in Redding. My mother owned many of his works, which we still display, and love. We were fortunate to have such a good, creative man in our midst.
