I am so sorry to hear of Homer's passing. I had forgotten about him working at the school, but reading that brought back some good memories. I also remember him throughout my childhood at St. Thomas. Homer was a big part of the community and will be greatly missed!

I did not know Homer personally. However, my father (Leon "Pete" Petersen) was also born in 1912 and raised in Trufant. And, if he were alive today, would be there(in person) to share in the family's grief. I believe in his absence, it is my place to send condolences to Homer's family. May you remember all the good times. Sincerely, Judy Reusser
