Richard Arlen Hornsby

Richard proudly joined the Marines, following high school and served during the Korean Conflict, carrying forward a steady sense of duty and devotion that remained evident throughout his life. Following his time in the Marine Corp, Richard moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he met and married the love of his life, Sandra Book, in 1958.

Richard is survived by his wife of 68 years Sandra (Book) Hornsby; Daughter, Kelly (Mark, deceased) Hornsby Schenher; Michelle (Billy) Napier; and Grandchildren: Cole Hornsby, Kristina Campbell, Katie Hornsby and Angel Phassen.

Richard was hard-working and dependable. He retired from Phelps Dodge Corporation, Indiana Rod and Wire Division.

Richard found genuine enjoyment in the simple, enduring pleasures of time well spent—bowling, golf, and being with family and friends. He also enjoyed ice fishing and going to Wisconsin in late November with his buddies, valuing the fellowship and tradition of those days as much as the destination itself.

No service are scheduled currently. A Celebration of Life will be held later.
