It is with much sadness to hear of Homer's passing. Homer was a hard worker, sincere to his company, his employees, straight up, and most of all an inspiration to all he encountered in his journey of life.
Including me. Rest in peace Homer. May God Almighty hold the family and dear friends of Homer in the palm of his hands and comfort them.
