Homer worked at Bell’s Foundry in Hillsboro and Palm Harbor Homes in Sabina for many years. He owned and operated the cores factory. Homer loved to do foundry work. He loved to watch his cows and calves play, and he loved his dog Shorty. He also liked to hunt for mushrooms.

He was a great man; he took care of his boys and raised them the best he could. He was tough on them, but he loved them, and they love him still. He loved his grandkids and great ones too. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten. His family says, “Thank you, Dad, for everything. We love you, Dad and Grandpa.”
