Thomas W. Horn Sr., one of the most familiar faces on Sag Harbor Main Street, where he dutifully sat in front of the firehouse selling raffle tickets and paraphernalia to benefit the village’s Fire Museum on summer evenings, died on Tuesday evening at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. He was 90.     

Mr. Horn was a former Sag Harbor Fire Department chief. This would have been his 70th year as a fire department volunteer, his grandson, Ryan Horn, said. He also was a former chairman of the Sag Harbor Village Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review.     

Services were still being planned at press time yesterday, but the family expected a viewing to be held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in Sag Harbor tomorrow from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A Mass will be said on Saturday morning at 10:30, followed by burial.     

An obituary for Mr. Horn will appear in a future issue.
