Homer was a WWII Veteran and proudly served in the United States Navy.  After he returned from WWII, he worked as a glazier for many years until he retired. Homer loved to garden, work in his yard, and watch his flowers grow. He was an avid bird lover and fed the wild birds that visited his yard daily.
