Mass for George Horn is Wednesday

Dinners got a little brighter in Heaven yesterday when George came home after 78 years. His homemade sausage, jokes, and laughter are as big a hit now as when he shared them with us.

Born in Plavna, Yugoslavia, George lived the American dream since arriving from Austria in 1951. Fifty-six years ago he met and married the love of his life, Anna, who misses him more than anyone could imagine. He made a million and lost a million. He bought property and sold it. He sent his boys to college and taught them to be men. Not bad for a meat cutter with a fifth grade education.

Those he leaves for now, wife, Anna; sons, Frank (Judy) and Robert (Margie); grandchildren, Renee and Will; nephew, George; niece, Irene; and cousin, Rudi (Anni) will miss his wit and stories. So, remember George when you buy a penny stock or share a laugh with friends.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Anthony Funeral Home KUCKO-ANTHONY-KERTESZ CHAPEL, 1990 S. Main St. in Akron. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Fr. Ralph Thomas on Wednesday at 10 a.m. at St. Paul Catholic Church on Brown St. in Akron. Interment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Paul's Elementary School, 1580 Brown Street, Akron, Ohio 44301.
