Glen Honeyman Obituary

Glen Vernon Honeyman, age 77, received everlasting peace on Sunday, January 22, 2017 at his residence surrounded by his devoted wife and family after a valiant battle with lung cancer.

He was born on the family farm in Troy, OH to Forrest and Stella (Wackler) Honeyman.

He graduated from Troy High School in 1957, married Patricia L. McBride in 1958 and soon had three daughters.

In 1968, he started his own business, Glen Honeyman Home Improvements, from which he retired after thirty-four successful years. He enjoyed woodworking and restoring antique Chevrolets. He was a long-standing member and former officer of the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America (VCCA).

He and Pat belonged to the "Hickory Nut Gang" in Fort Loramie which lead to many memories, lifelong friends and a few questionable photographs. He was active with his classmates, meeting once a week for breakfast at Lincoln Square. He loved traveling with his wife by motorhome or car, antique or newer model. He enjoyed playing cards with a close circle of friends every Friday evening for over 30 years.

Preceding him in death were his parents and two grandchildren Jesmond and Judd Boehringer. He is survived by his wife Patricia; daughters Teresa (Chris) Boehringer, Tina (Mike) Duff and Tracy Honeyman; five grandchildren Nathan (Laura) Boehringer, Seth (Samantha) Boehringer, Samantha (Garrett Fisher) Honeyman, Zack (Katie) Feltner and Kayla Duff and twelve great grandchildren. He is also survived by a brother Donald (Linda) Honeyman and sister Alice (John) Sheafer.

Services will be held at 10:00AM on Thursday, January 26, 2017 at Baird Funeral Home, Troy, OH. Burial will follow at Riverside Cemetery. Visitation will be from 5:00-8:00PM on Wednesday at the funeral home.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the nurses of Dayton Physicians Network in the Good Sam North Chemo Lab and Hospice of Miami County.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Hospice of Miami County, PO Box 502, Troy, OH 45373.

Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.bairdfuneralhome.com.

Glen had an irrepressible smile, an honest work ethic and truly kind heart and leaves a legacy of humor, kindness, loyalty and "true grit" from which his family and friends will draw strength and courage for years to come.

Extending our condolences to the Honeyman family. I graduated with Glen and we belonged to some of the antique car clubs. Glen also did some handyman work for me years ago. He was always such a pleasant person and we know he will be missed.

Sue and I still remember the fun times we had playing Euchre with Glen, Pat, John, Alice, Larry, Nancy, Jay & Bertie and that must have been 50 years ago. May Glen's memories fill the void he leaves behind.

I am so sorry to hear of Glen's passing, as I have not seen him for the past few years. I know he is in God's arms now, and at peace. As Glen wrote for our 50th reunion booklet, ". . . so take care and enjoy your journey on life's highway, because we only have a few miles left to go." Glen has completed that journey, and is home now.

Pat, Teresa, Tina and Tracy. I remember the good down to earth nature of Glen. He seemed to be intent with anything he was doing. We had some great times together traveling, playing cards, enjoying his cars and the hours we spent on the family history. These are all wonderful memories that he has left us to enjoy. Jay Wackler
