Homer was my grandfather, and best friend. I am at home and feel Gram should be calling to tell me Homer is on his way, we got work to do. I will always remember climbing mountains in NY, going to races, and just working around the houses. The one thing I am most proud of is the relationship he had with my daughter Angelina. Homer, Angelina, and Molly (his dog) were the tree amigo's. My youngest daughter Marley was too young to ride on the tractor with him, and to take him to go feed the horses. I will miss you Homer.
