Paul Gerard Hornack ’76

Paul Gerard Hornack died Jan. 4, 1999, after a hiking accident atop a mountain in New Zealand. He was 44.

Paul attended Hazelton [Pa.] H.S. At Princeton, he majored in astrophysical sciences and graduated with honors. He was an active member of Dial Lodge and served as food manager. His Princeton friends remember Paul as a car and sports enthusiast, with a particular love for his Mustang.

After Princeton, Paul received a master's in material science from Cornell and an MBA from the Wharton Graduate School of Business. He worked for ARCO in the finance division for several years, and then joined McKinsey as a management consultant. Paul spent several years with BHP in Hawaii, where he was v.p. of marketing and sales, and ultimately joined Andersen Consulting as an as­sociate partner in strategic services.

Several years ago, Paul became interested in hiking and went on climbs in far-flown locales that included Hawaii, Brazil, and Washington's Mt. Rainier. In the midst of a 10-day vacation in New Zealand, Paul stumbled off a trail onto a steep slope.

Paul is survived by his parents, Philomena and John, his brother, James, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
