Daniel Horn Obituary
He was a 1976 graduate of Strong Vincent High School where he was All-City linebacker on the football team. Dan was employed as the Bar Manager of the American Legion Post # 773 of Erie. He was the President of the American Legion Riders, a member of the American Legion, Sportsman, Moose and Cascade Clubs.
Dan enjoyed playing pool, bocci, corn hole, hunting and golfing and was a competitive member of many leagues. Dan was kind, caring and compassionate especially when it came to our veterans; he would work endlessly supporting their causes. Dan's greatest joy was riding motorcycles with his many great friends, especially Jeff Davern. They took trips all over the country, taking them to each of the lower 48 contiguous states. Dan was a founding sponsor and rider at the Flight 93 National Memorial where he rode in honor of the oldest passenger on the plane, Hilda Marcin, and named his bike "Hilda" in her honor.
In addition to his parents he is preceded in death by his half-brother, Bruce Horn.
Dan is survived by his son, Joseph (Billi Jo) Lombardo and beloved granddaughter Madilyn of North East, PA; two sisters, Sheila (Tim) Ohmer and Shawn (Jeff) Kesling; a brother, Brian Horn, all of Erie. He is further survived by a half-sister Pamela (Jim) Williams of Wadsworth, OH and a half- brother, Patrick Devlin of Erie; as well as his devoted girlfriend Sallie Lewis and her granddaughter Symarah; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that were like brothers, including his roommate Paul Whitman, and so many other great friends.
Friends are invited to call at the Quinn Funeral Home, W. 9th and Liberty St. on Thursday from 2-4pm and 6-8 pm and are invited to a Funeral Mass on Friday at 11:30 am in St. Patrick Catholic Church, 130 E. 4th St.. Burial will be private.
Memorials may be made to the family in care of the funeral home or the American Legion Post #773, 4109 W 12th St, Erie, PA 16505.

I knew, and, met Dan for only 3 hours in my life. I happened to get my Jeep badly stuck in the snow on Monday, Jan 17th, (MLK Day), right next to the "Club"......Under freezing, blizzard conditions, he let me in, offered me a drink, and, some munchies while AAA came to tow my car.
During those 3 hours, I got to know him a little bit, and, his tremendous zest for life (and, Football!).
Very sad to hear of his passing away. He was a really nice guy.
May he Rest in Peace.

I would like to say that I am very sorry that Dan passed away; I was reading his story, and I noticed that he was a founding sponsor at the Flight 93 Memorial, and rode in honor of passenger Hilda Marcin and named his bike. This was the first time I've heard about this and I wish I could have thanked him personally, because Hilda was my Mom, and I've visited the Memorial many times over the years but never met Dan. I will be saying my prayers for him and hope he's able to meet up with my Mom in heaven. God Bless him and his family, and again, I am so sorry I never heard this story prior to today. God Bless, and I will say my prayers. Best regards, Carole O'Hare (Daughter of Hilda)
