Homer was a great father to my children , he taught them about life
And to respect others, to be courteous and always use there manners.
He showed them love and caring. To always respect me and honor me.
He loved people of all walks of life and wanted to help others always.
He loves serving the community and helping people.
He will be missed. May he rest in peace with Jesus.

When I worked with Homer at AK/ARMCO there was never a dull moment. Homer always kept us laughing but could also get serious when needed. Homer was a fine man and boy could he eat. He will be missed by all that knew him. Phil Chatfield.

I am sad to see the passing of a good friend. Homer and I worked together at Armco Steel and he was always a great guy to be around. Even after we both left there we stayed in touch. Some through visits and the occasional letter and then last year a surprise email. Homer had a big heart and could not say no. I'm sure the community will look at him with a smile because he was always a happy guy.
