His career as a doctor spanned over 30 years, and he served as the Director of Medical Affairs at De Paul Hospital before retiring at the age of 68.
Dr. Horden and his wife were both avid golfers and traveled extensively throughout their marriage. They especially loved traveling to France, where they were part owners of a canal barge, where they hosted many wonderful visits with friends and family over the years.
