Daniel Homa Obituary

McKEES ROCKS - Dr. Daniel J. "Doc" Homa, 73, of Weirton, W.Va., passed away Wednesday (July 24, 2013) in Pittsburgh.
Born in Bradford, Dan, a true original, was an avid golfer, guitar player and baker. After medical school he opened a private practice as a general practitioner. Upon leaving the private practice he served as a Lt. Colonel in the United States Air Force where he specialized in radiology. Daniel retired from medicine in 2002.
He is survived by his children, Colene Homa of Kansas City, Mo., Amy (Homa) and John Ralston of Weirton, Michael Homa of Pittsburgh, Susan (Homa) and Jay Dawson of Saranac Lake, N.Y., and his faithful bulldog Bingo. He was loving grandpa to Joshua Homa, Joseph and Thomas Ralston and Cole and Elle Dawson. Daniel is also survived by two sisters and a brother and was a proud "Uncle Bub" to all his nieces and nephews along with their children.
Daniel is preceded in death by his parents Walter and Rose Panin Homa; his sister Margaret "Tiny" Homa, two nieces and two nephews.
Dan was cremated according to his wishes and the family will be holding a private celebration of his life. Donations may be made in his honor to the American Diabetes Foundation.
