Homer was a wonderful man and friend. When I worked at Cranston, he was always so kind to me. Made sure I got home in bad weather and always asked about my family, especially when my husband was in Vietnam. Never failed to tell me he was praying for us. Precious memories. Of your Dad, Steven and of you from our school years!
