Carl Hornberger

Im so sorry, I didnt know he passed away in 2014. He was my Doctor for years. I liked him so much. He was the nicest most caring person. I miss him very much. He was friends with my husband Frank Rosenau who passed away in 2009.

Doctor Hornberger was like a family member to me. My grandparents, parents and the younger generation all went to him as their primary doctor! I remember when Dr Hornberger, VJ Maino, and Charles Maino went deer hunting with my grandfather and uncle who owned the Barry Foundry! Who's the Barrys? just look down at the street and see the street covers that say Barry Foundry! I remember all of them coming to diners and the Maino home close to the Racket club on Norwegian Avenue! I was about 8 years old then! And I was well taken care of by these wonderful doctors until Dr Hornberger retired! Sutter Gould will never be the same for me although I still go there! Not only did he take care of me physically but mended all the emotional up and downs in my life! I will forever miss him! And believe me we went through some ruff times! Not only was he a great doctor but had an enormous faith in God and always shared those Bible passages with me when times were hard as he knew I went to Catholic school in my younger years and would understand the analogy of my troubles! What a great spirit he was and still is in my life! It is hard losing such strong people in our lives but his wisdom will always be remembered and I hope I in difficult and good times always apply what he taught me in my life! He will be very missed but never forgotten. Heaven has gained an angel from earth who will always watch over us!

It has been one of my greatest pleasures to have worked for Dr. Hornberger. He was indeed one of the most dedicated physicians at Sutter and we will all miss him dearly.

Great Family man respected him and his family. As I grew-up in the Church and went to school with his kids GM Davis High School. Church Youth groups also. RIP Dr. Hornberger. Prayers out to your Family. Retired now myself CHP.

I knew Dr Hornberger for 20 years, work with him on occasion at Sutter Gould. Great Doctor and a great man. He will be missed. RIP Dr Carl Hornberger

Dr. Hornberger you will be missed by many! You were a patient advocate that cared deeply for your patients. My love and prayers to the Hornberger family.

Dr. Hornberger was my physician for close to 50 years. I can still remember my mother taking me to see him on my very first visit to Gould Medical Center around 1960. He was always calm, gentle and caring and never rushed through any appointment I had with him. I have truly missed having him as my doctor these past few years. My deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

He was my doctor. He was a fellow musician. He was my friend. I, like many others, will miss him and I never expect to meet quite another like him. Smooth seas and a following breeze, Carl

Our very, very sincere sympathy to Polly and all of the family. We always enjoyed our visits at the Gallo Center's Carnation Room, with a glass of wine, before the Modesto Symphony Concerts. He was a very special man -- fine personal physician, one of the most generous of the music-lovers of Modesto, and valued friend. Though gone, he will always be fondly remembered.

My prayers go out to the family. He will be missed. One of the memories I have is around Christmas hearing him playing his instrument walking through the halls at Gould years ago...always looked forward to that. My condolences.

All of us at Gould thank him for his service and he will be dearly missed.

I had the pleasure of working for Dr. Hornberger. He is an inspiration to medicine and the community. I will miss our conversations about music and sports. His patients loved him. He has taught me to never give up on my dreams. He will be truly missed. My prayers go out to his wife and family during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathy to you Polly and your family.
