Beautiful in Blue was purchased for the family of Geoffrey Holmes Hornbeck.

It was with much sadness that I read Geoff's write up in the paper. I worked with him along with a small group of friends from RMH in the late 70's and early 80's.  I look back with fondness at the times we would all get together and enjoy the camaraderie of our workplace occurrences, and conversations with much laughter, which was usually prompted by Geoff.  He was one of a kind, a good soul, and a pleasure to know.

My condolences to all of the Hornbeck's.

Rest in peace Geoff.

We were very fortunate to visit Geoff at his sister's house in Arizona last January, 2017, and enjoyed spending time with Geoff.  We miss his sense of humor and email quips that he used to send.  We have enjoyed reading some of Geoff's fictional work, and his ability to relate his short stories to locations in Ohio.   We wish to extend our sympathies to the family at this difficult time, and trust that your shared memories will ease your loss.

Casey and Kathy O'Conor purchased the Be My Love Bouquet with Red Roses for the family of Geoffrey Holmes Hornbeck.

Uncle,

    You will be missed dearly. Especially with the sense of humor you had, it was never a dull conversation! You are now in no pain and with your wife Gale. You are at peace and with Grandma and Grandpa. Tell them I said hi and I love them. Please watch over me and my family. Until we meet again Uncle , I LOVE YOU!!!! Fly HIGH UNCLE !!! RIH

I am shocked and devastated to hear the news of Geoff's passing. I have only fond memories of "Hornbeck" as we called him at Ohio State---truly one of the funniest people I have ever met.----his brutally cutting wit and hilarious sarcastic comments to any situation were always accompanied by a twinkle in his eye---that came from the enormously good heart he had. I regret that we fell out of touch over the years--although the Christmas cards we would receive from him showed a spiritual side that (frankly) he never displayed in college. I missed a call from him on 12/13---and received a 2 second empty voicemail,.
I tried calling back but got nothing. How I wish we had connected that day. No idea on the circumstances of his passing--and I suppose it doesn't matter now, but how I wish I had gotten to speak to him that day. 
My condolences go out to Geoff's family and friends---and my hope is that time and support of loved ones--and memories of Geoff will comfort you. Peace,
