Horst was born on July 14, 1933 in southeastern Germany. With his parents and two sisters, Ruth Kulschbach and Eleonore Guderjan, they relocated to Peoria in 1953.
On December 22, 1961 he married Anni Rauscher. Together they raised Ute Prohaska MD and Arno Prohaska. His beloved grandchildren are Nicholas Adams, Isabella Adams and Miranda Adams. Horst was a talented pattern designer for CAT for almost 40 years.
