I still remember when Mr. Honaker spoke at my grandfather's funeral. I remember thinking my grandfather was so lucky to have such a wonderful and loving guy as a best friend. I know Poppy (E. Brown) and Mr. Honaker are enjoying some awesome fishing together right now! Thank you for being a part of our family... --The Browns

My prayers are with Donna and her family. Of course I remember Mr Honaker, he was a big part of my extended family, through Pop Brown and all the Boy Scouts. I have many memories of the stories they told of their scout trips, and Mom Brown always spoke so highly of the family. Regards-Anne (Kuhns) Gude

I am so sorry to hear of Gene's passing. I knew him at the Red Cross beginning in 1986 when I joined the First Aid Unit. He and Jo were such a fixture! They were very kind and always had time to talk with us. We have tried to keep that tradition up, even as the Unit left Red Cross for Boy Scouts. He was a really good, and special example of how to do it right!

God Bless!
