HORN Frederick Page Horn

born Feb. 27, 1934, died Sunday, Aug. 11, after an extended illness. Born the son of Raymond and Hilda Horn, Fred married Catherine Farrell, daughter of Thomas and Marie Farrell on Aug. 9, 1952. Fred is survived by his wife of 61 years, Catherine Farrell Horn and their six children. Linda Horn Hughes was the eldest. Linda married Robert Hughes of Waverly, N.Y., and they have three children, Brian and Trisha Hughes of Waverly, N.Y., Jeffrey, also of Waverly, N.Y., and Christopher who now lives in Orlando, Fla. Karen Horn Duggan, married Bernard Duggan of South Waverly, and raised their two daughters, Jennifer and Michelle, in Waverly, N.Y. Jennifer and Regan Gettans live in Cleveland, Ohio, with their son Finley, who came into the world in 2013. Michelle and Victor Lee reside outside Orlando, Fla., with their two children Nathan and Vanessa. Cathy Horn Catarisano, married to Frank Catarisano, from Waverly, N.Y., now reside in Victor, N.Y. They have two daughters, Andrea and Alicia. Andrea and her husband Kyle Kebert reside in Charlotte, N.C. with their daughter Sophia, Alicia lives in Victor, N.Y.  Dr. Thomas Horn married Jody Deitrick Horn. Thomas and Jody live in South Waverly, Pa. Sharon Horn Hildebrandt, married to Michael Hildebrandt from Athens, Pa., live in Sayre, Pa. They have two children, Trey and Paige, who live at home. Kevin Horn married Gina Mancini Horn. They have three children, Caitlin, Frederick and Joseph, all living at home. Frederick and Catherine are members of The Epiphany Roman Catholic Church. All six of their children were educated at Epiphany School in Sayre, Pa., and all went on to attend Sayre High School. Fred and Catherine shared common beliefs in life, one of which was that a Catholic upbringing was the start of a solid foundation. They instilled a thought process to their children that through hard work, determination and dedication a life of success could be achieved. The way Fred and Catherine lived their life can be summed up by this; "Treat others the way you want to be treated, and never lose sight of where you came from." Fred and Kate, as they are known to many, could be found at many different places over the years. Horn's True Value, which just celebrated 100 years in business, was the most well-known place to spot them. When Fred started out in the family business, he had a six bay garage and gas station that was attached to the True Value store on Broad Street, in Waverly, N.Y. Along with working in the store, Fred would drive the oil truck for Horn's Heating Oil, every Sunday, and often you would see one of his kids riding by his side. In 1992, Fred built a new store, and moved Horn's True Value across the bridge to South Waverly, Pa. Over the last 59 years there was a good possibility you would find any or all of Horn family members working at the store. Today, the store is operated by their daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Bernie Duggan. When not working at the store, Fred and Kate spent their time attending dance recitals, basketball, football, and soccer games and any other event their children or grandchildren were part of. Many times while attending the events, Fred could be seen helping out, be it changing a light bulb, taking tickets, or anything else that needed to be done, just to ensure everyone enjoyed the event. Other events they enjoyed working together were the Epiphany Spring Fling and Crazy Days at the monastery and up until six or seven years ago, Fred volunteered his time helping out at bingo at Epiphany Church. He was always willing to fill in for others at bingo so that they could had the opportunity to attend their child's sport event or activity. Fred taught all his children the importance of a lending a helping hand and community service. He always said it was the act behind the entertainment that made it all possible. In other words, if nobody did the hard work, the opportunity for someone else to enjoy might not happen. Fred believed it was a privilege to give a hand when a hand was needed. Family was Fred's greatest attribute and pride and joy. In his final days at home with his family, Fred talked about Catherine being the backbone of the family. He discussed with his children how it was their job and responsibility to ensure his grandchildren and great grandchildren the same opportunities he provided for them growing up. A quality upbringing, Catholic values, unconditional love, support and protection. Protection from world they live in, being the toughest one to overcome. Until his final moments he was heard echoing this over and over. Fred understood the phrase "giving back." He drove not only cars and trucks but ambulances, fire trucks, school buses and tractor trailers as another way to lend a helping hand. His biggest charity was the ability to see who needed help the most. Fred was like a secret Santa who slid in and made it happen before anyone could figure out how and vanished before anyone could notice. His best work was kept silent. Rotary, Sayre Elks, Loyal Order of the Moose and Sayre School Board, were all part of Fred's life, not only for the social aspect, but for taking kids to ball games that the Elks used to put on. Fred enjoyed supporting town and school parades by offering a truck, trailer and decorations for the floats. He took pride in being a member of the school board, as one of his core values, was about kids getting the proper education, one they could utilize in the real world. In the early years when the children were young, Fred and Kate enjoyed family vacation trips to the Jersey Shore. Years later it was baptisms, confirmations, graduations, and then grandchildren starting their families that brought joy and happiness. But the ultimate smile would come when the grandchildren provided them with great grandchildren, then Fred really became engaged. He was proud to say that is my daughter's son or that is my daughter's girl. After recently celebrating 61 years of marriage to Catherine, Fred's time here with us has passed. One must wonder what Fred has in store next. Frederick was predeceased by his parents, Raymond and Hilda Page Horn; his brother, Edward; his sister Donna; his father and mother-in-law, Thomas and Marie Sick Farrell; and nephew Joseph Nossal. He is survived by his sister, Janet Horn McKinney; his sisters-in-law, Mary Lou Horn, Mary Farrell Novak, Genevive Farrell Woith (Dale), Sally Farrell Stohlman, Rita Farrell Nossal (Len) and Frances Farrell. A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 16, 2013, at the Church of the Epiphany, located at 304 S. Elmer Ave., Sayre, Pa. Prior to the mass, the family will receive friends and family from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the church. Everyone is invited to join us in celebrating Fred's life. Burial will be at the Tioga Point Cemetery, in Athens, Pa. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Epiphany School or Guthrie Hospice. Towanda Daily Review – August 16, 2013
