Sorry to hear of Homer going home. He has been our barber for 40 years; since we first moved to Hamilton. I enjoyed having many conversations with him over the years. I'm happy for him because I know he is celebrating in heaven with his wife. My heart goes out to his family during this time.

I'm sorry to hear of Homer's passing. My heart goes out to all those grieving.
Uncle Homer was always good to my family. When I was too little to ride my bike to his shop from my house on Madison Ave. I did anyway for a piece of candy. I'm sure he told my dad, but never let on.
I wish I could have had Homer cut my son's hair.
The world lost a good man, but certainly heaven's gain.
Blessing's from Scott, Kim, Morgan, Jordan, & Ryan Gross

Homer is one of the sweetest people I have ever known. So huggable and easy to spot in those rainbow suspenders. I love you uncle Homer. We will miss you so much at the reunion.

I grew up right down the street as did my mother. Homer gave me my first haircut and many many more through the years.
I always loved helping in the garden that they put out every year.
His grandchildren Darrel (Joey) and Jerry are friends (even though life has not allowed us to see each other in a few years) that I will always have.

Our Prayers are with all. Homer was involved so much in my growing years and he will be missed. Homer and my dad Troy talked about every day when my father was alive. We all had such good times fishing and hunting. So sorry. Hard to put into words what he meant to all of us.
