Homer received his bachelor's degree from Concordia University in 1993. He worked for Sara Lee where he met Linda, and at Dow Chemical and Miller Brewing Company as a computer systems analyst. In his earlier years he was an accomplished pianist, favoring classical music, an avid birder and sang several choirs. In later years he helped legally blind people learn how to use the computer. He enjoyed collecting rocks and minerals. Homer was one of the founders of the Grace Baptist Church in Downers Grove, IL. He was a member of the Alliance Bible Church where he especially enjoyed the men's bible study group. He was a member of the National Audubon Society and The Nature Conservancy. He befriended all his lawn boys and helped them get a good start in life by following them after they left for college. He always had a funny witticism to share. Homer once said he thought that the Hallelujah Chorus should be played at his funeral. He will be missed by all.
