Published in the Contra Costa Times (CA) on Feb. 9, 2009:
Resident of Los Altos, Horace was born in Antioch, Calif. and raised in Pittsburg, proud son of Frances & Joe "The Milkman" Enea.
Before there was Google, there was Horace Enea. Horace had an answer for every question, especially if it was about jazz, rare books, astronomy or computer science. An avid musician, Horace was president of the Leland J. Stanford University Marching Band the year they went from flat to fluffy.
He met his wife, Anne, at Stanford when she hired him with grant funds to write a computer program; he liked to tease her that she paid him $500 and spent the other $1000 on her wedding dress. At the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Department, Horace and Dr. Kenneth Colby developed the natural language program Perry.
Horace later founded Heuristics, Inc., the first microprocessor-based speech recognition company, and then co-founded the venture capital group at Apple Computer. In 1996, he helped raise money for BEA Systems, Inc., the fastest growing software company in history at that time.
Horace is survived by his wife Anne, his children Kristine and John, his grandchildren Jason and Nicholas, and his brother Joe and his wife Francine.
