He was a retired owner and operator of Beechwood Motors, and a former salesman for Ridgeview Lincoln Mercury Co., Covington.
'He had sold cars way back in the 1930s, Hudson Terraplanes, among them,' recalled a friend, Tom Gaither.
Mr. Hornbeck was also a pilot, and flew combat missions in World War II. 'He joined the Canadian Air Force before America entered the war, and then switched over to the Army Air Corps,' said Gaither. Mr. Hornbeck piloted B-29 bombers, on raids over Japan and the Pacific islands, Gaither said.

He was a long-time member of the Covington Rotary Club, and also belonged to the Metropolitan Club of Covington. Both Rev. Pennington and Gaither were in Rotary with Mr. Hornbeck.
