I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Homer. I worked with Homer at Sampson Regional Medical Center for years. My father also lived at the apts. where Homer lived. Homer was always so nice to spend a few minutes talking when he would visit us at SRMC. He and I would always talk about the geranium he kept for so long on his porch and how pretty it remained even through the winter. We will miss seeing him around Clinton and know that our older acquaintances can never be replaced. Sincerely - Linda Horne
