Homer loved all things outdoors- hunting, fishing, tending to the yard, and walks in the woods with his walking stick. You'd often find him tinkering in the garage, listening to Johny Cash on the porch, or roaming the neighborhood. He had a story, joke or opinion for any occasion, and he would often tell you the same one twice. He cherished time spent with family and friends, especially his granddaughters. He was a Bethlehem Steel retiree, but worked numerous jobs when laid off from the mill. He was proud to serve in the United States Army and National Guard. Member of the Dunlo American Legion and Dunlo Rod and Gun Club. A man of strong faith, we find peace in knowing he is in Heaven with God. A very special thank you to the staff at Windber Woods for their exceptional and loving care over the last few months; they really went above and beyond to treat him like family and kept his spirits up even on his bad days.
