Norman George Horn

Norman George Horn passed away on September 8, 2022 at the age of 84. Born on July 29, 1938 in Cincinnati, Ohio, he later became a devoted brother to his two younger sisters Marge and Marie. Norman was preceded in death by his parents George and Velma Horn. He is survived by his loving wife Carol of 60 years; his four children, Chris (wife Cathy), Jeff (wife Robyn), Jenny (husband Mike), and Jim (wife Marion); his nine grandchildren, Mitchell (Maggie), Matt, Bradley (wife Annamarie), Joe (Megan), Amanda (husband Payton), Brittany (Zach), Hunter (fiancé Jessica), Scott (wife Lauren), and Troy; his three great grandchildren Lucas, Paige and Jacquelyn. Norman was a true patriarch and cared deeply for every member of his family.

A devout and faithful Catholic, he was a Fourth Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus. Throughout his life, Norman was very involved in the Church, and one ministry he and Carol enjoyed tremendously was sponsoring engaged couples as they prepared for the Sacrament of Marriage. He also volunteered as a Stephen Minister offering emotional and spiritual support to those in the faith community. In his retirement, he was head of the Liturgical Committee and lead singer in the choir at their church of 25 years, Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Mount Vernon, Texas.

Norman graduated from Dayton University in 1961 with a Civil Engineering degree. After graduation, he was employed by Turner Construction where he spent a total of 36 years. In the mid 1980's he left Turner for three years to work for Austin Commercial. Norman held many positions within his career and made his mark on numerous buildings in the U.S. and world-wide, including Sri Lanka. In 2000, Norman and Carol retired at their lake house in East Texas where he continued to share his expertise on the El Dorado Bay POA (Perspective Property Owners). He served as President, ACC Chair (Architect Control Committee), Rules Chair, and an advisor to the Board. He also served as Director for the Franklin County Historical Association in his retirement. Socially, his Eldorado Bay neighbors gathered once a month for the El Dorado Scotch Tasting Club of which Norman was the founding member.

Norman's influence on his family, friends, the Church and the construction industry leaves a profound legacy. He will be greatly missed.

A memorial will be held at 2:00 PM Saturday, October 22, 2022 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Mount Vernon, Texas.
