Love, laughter and faith define 103-year-old Jeffersonville parishioner’s amazing journey

People after MassEveryone wants to know his secret. They want to know how Tom Horn was able to play golf into his 90s. And they want to know how he’s still able to drive, live in his own home, cook for himself and even do a little gambling at the nearby riverboat casino at 103. “Sometimes I talk to myself to see if I’m going to get up. Then I make myself get up and go to Mass every morning. You have to keep moving.” Keep moving. It’s great and ironic advice from a man who still lives in the same house that he and his wife bought 68 years ago, a man who has been a member of St. Augustine Parish in Jeffersonville for all 103 years of his life.
