Barry Horn Obituary
A memorial gathering celebrating the life of Barry E. Horn, 59, of St. Augustine, Fla., who passed away Thursday, April 24, 2008, began with a viewing, which was held on Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. at Craig Funeral Home. Funeral services will be on Tuesday (today) at 10 a.m. at Craig Funeral Home with internment following at the St. Augustine Memorial Cemetery.
Barry was born on Nov. 20, 1948, in Easton, Pa. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1967. His military career started with a tour in Vietnam, where he received a Purple Heart. During the next 19 years, he served three separate tours in Europe as a combat engineer and also served as a senior drill instructor at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and retired as a master sergeant. He moved to St. Augustine in 1989 and was most recently employed at San Sebastian Winery.
Barry was an avid music fan, whose tastes ranged from rock 'n' roll to classical. He enjoyed football, auto racing and barbecuing at family gatherings. He was a loving husband and father and is survived by his wife of 37 years, Mary; his son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Carrie Horn, and granddaughters Mya and Amy of St. Augustine; daughter and son-in-law, Erika and Steve Wiseman, of Hendersonville, N.C., and daughter and son-in-law, Jamie and Sean Martin, and granddaughter, Sierra, of Fairbanks, Alaska. He is survived by his mother, Pearl Grube; brother, Gary Horn; sister and brother-in-law, Andrew and Patricia Werkeiser, all of Easton, Pa.
He was predeceased by his sister, Sharon Pilz.

To Barry's family, my heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to you all. I remember hanging out at Barry's house with my brother, Issy. He also passed away this past Thursday. We had some time times at Barry's mother's house on 12th St.
I guess Barry and Issy will be hanging out again.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Horn family and friends in the loss of Barry. I lived on 11th and Lehigh Street and went to school and graduated with Barry. I remember Barry always being a nice guy. I see that continued through his short life on this earth. Rest in peace Barry.
