So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you.

So sorry to hear that Homer had passed. I have been estranged from relatives and family for many years. One of my fondest memories from years ago was when Homer called me up one time when he had a field of hay to get up before the rains started. Was back when I was a senior in High School. Really thought I was a man then. He used a loader and drove probably 10 miles an hour. I was about dead after that first round. Was taught some humility that day. Homer took over stacking and had me drive the rest of the field. I had never been so exhausted in my life. Still marvel that he was able to work me into the ground so easy and still went at his pace all day. One of the toughest men I ever met, and humble and loving through it all. You will be missed.
