Mr. Hornecker was absolutely one of the most friendliest, nicest, and awesome man I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! To be blessed by knowing him and what a tremendous family man! WOW! Since moving from Sts. John & James parish, we did not see him as often as we would have liked to but always looked forward to seeing his beautiful smiling face at the various functions. And, what a lovely family! I mean really, I had such a HUGE teenage crush on Greg 20+ years ago!!! Boy, how time flies! Mr. Hornecker will be greatly missed!

What an almighty man of God he was!!! CELEBRATE LIFE!!!
Love, hugs, and prayers to Mr. Hornecker's family,
Julianne Griffin (Scovill - former member of Sts. John & James Parish)

Dad was the greatest Father-in-law
you could have. I am grateful for all the time we got to spend together these past few months while he was struggling with his illness. I loved him dearly and will miss him.
