Homer was a precious Godly man. It was a joy to be around him. Truly he will be missed. So sorry for our loss but it is his gain. God bless the family .
So sorry for your loss. Our love and prayers are with all of you.
What a blessing Homer was to those around him. He was truly one of the kindest, most humble men, we have met. He was always ready with a smile and a hug, a kind word and a laugh. He never failed to tease Knute and I when we saw him, or to ask about our kids by name. He sealed his place in our hearts when he went out of his way to befriend our youngest son, during a difficult time in his life, and Brendan loved him for it. We are heartbroken to learn of his passing but we know he is dancing through the gates of Heaven with a smile on his face and that mischievous twinkle in his eye.
Until Valhalla, Brother.
Brother Homer was a joy to be around. He was a true friend if you were down and needed one. Most importantly he was a positive example of Christ. This old world needs a lot more Homer Robinsons!
Homer was so special to me, Phyllis and our Seniors at Red Branch Church. He rarely missed a Senior luncheon when we could have them. It is hard to believe he’s gone but he’s in a much better place than we are today. We will never forget his friendliness, his welcoming smiles and his hugs!
Our hearts grieve with the family during this time of loss.
Homer was such a kind man always, such a blessing, we all thought the world of him .
To the family and friends of Homer Robinson – May God surround you with His love, peace and presence.
Homer loved the Lord and he loved people ….we can all say “What a life well lived”. ❤️
‘Always a shining smile and a friendly word – truly a gift whenever Mr. Homer was encountered. Bless him!
