Jean was such a bright light to me when I was a kid. Always helping me with clothing and shoes and even championing scholarships for me to take from the local pro players,(i.e. Steve Stefanki and Nick Carter) to further my love of tennis, she was firm yet compassionate to me as was Richard Horn her husband. As I found out later that she was a Virgo this made complete sense. May God be with her and her family.
Jean was such a bright light to me when I was a kid. Always helping me with clothing and shoes and even championing scholarships for me to take from the local pro players,(i.e. Steve Stefanki and Nick Carter) to further my love of tennis, she introduced me to men and women who later went on to become the top players in the world!!! Because of her I had quite a wonderful childhood regardless of the economic position of my family at the time. Jean was firm yet compassionate to me as was Richard Horn her husband. As I found out later that she was a Virgo this made complete sense. May God be with her and her family.
To the Horn family, Reading about your wife, mom, grandmother is a welcome reminder of how much I always enjoyed an encounter with any member of your crew. Thank you for the lovely photograph of Jean. I'm struck by the liveliness of her beautiful smile. This is a tough loss for your family and the wider Palo Alto/Bay Area community. Thinking about you, Pam (Gardiner) Wellin
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Horn Family Margo Ritter and Pete Hammonda
I did not have a chance to know Jeannie as well as I would have liked as we lived on opposite ends of the American shoreline. However, her father and mother opened their home to me as a teenager and I spent one year living in their home and attending Punahou. I have heard many wonderful stories about Jeannie and her sisters and am grateful to have them as part of our extended family. I know her family will miss her mightily and I pray for them and for their Mama and wife. God Bless
