The memory of Homer & Ginny walking up Reily Road to look for birds is among my fondest from childhood...two of those wonderful, faithful, giving neighbors who helped and supported my folks as our families grew in the 60's & 70's. Amy and the boys played with us and made our neighborhood fun...and I still have a Mary Poppins flower vase that came from the McCunes when I had measles. Our love to Ginny, Amy, and the Boys...

When I first started working at the Cincinnati Nature Center, Homer and Ginny were some of the first volunteers I met. I was touched with Homer's gentle, respectful style with the children, and with what an intellectual he was. Once my first husband Cas and I went to dinner at their house, and I still have some of the lovely wildflowers they gave us, growing in my yard. I've misssed the McCunes since they moved to Ithaca. I am so glad Homer was a part of my life. I feel enriched to have known him and Ginny.

As a staff member at Cincinnati Nature Center for many years, I remember Homer as one of the most outstanding volunteers. He and his wife, Ginny, were truly dedicated to the mission of the organization. I thank you for your many hours of volunteerism. With deepest sympathy, Jan Watkins
