I am proud to have worked with Mr Hornick in the traffic and transportation Department. He was instrumental in my development which led to several advancements!! I will forever be thankful for his help.
Dick and I were first cousins–our mothers were sisters. He reluctantly taught me to ride a two-wheeler and we went to the same high school, St. Francis de Sales. Many fond family memories. May he rest in peace. Gerry Sincic Jacobs
