He was my big brother. He was my hero. We had many
adventures together. And a lot of games of golf. I miss him terribly. It's
so hard to believe the brother I loved so much is gone.
I want to thank everyone who has written about Lou here. He will always be
alive in my heart, and reading your memories of him keeps his energy and
his laughter and his courage alive.
I've been privileged to meet some of you here in New York, and I hope
we stay in touch.
Thank you all,
Joseph Horn, Brother

When we were little kids we all thought of Uncle Louis as
the funny Uncle, the one who would clown around with us and try and make us
laugh with his Dead End Kids humor. It wasn't until recently that I realized
what he had been through in Europe and what a brave young man he must have
been. We all owe him, and the other men of the 507th and all those who put
their lives on the line for freedom an eternal debt of gratitude. And,
personally, I only wish I would have had the chance to tell him how
impressed and respectful I was for what he had been through and how proud I
was of what he had done. He brought honor to our family and to our country.
He will live on in our hearts forever.
His nephew Robert Horn

Sentiment:
I was so deeply saddened when my brother Lou died. I was not well enough to
attend his funeral but he knew I was there in spirit. As we get older, we
think more about our youth and I have such wonderful memories of growing up
with two brothers and our sister.
I will honor my brother Lou's memory each year, on the anniversary of his
death, his Yahrzeit, by saying Kaddish, in the Jewish tradition, just as I
do for our parents and our sister, may they rest in peace.
We loved you all.
Your brother, Irv ("Red") and Frances Horn
