Ronald Eugene Homan

November 3. 1943-February 2, 2018

Ronald Eugene Homan was born on November 3, 1943, in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado at the old hospital, to Leroy Homan and Ruth Kathryn Gross Homan.  He was middle child of three boys - Junior, Ronnie, and Dean. They lived just south of the Lutheran Church.

After stabilizing briefly, parts of Colorado impacted by severe drought increased over the past week, while moderate drought retreated in some areas and advanced in others. A storm settling across the state Saturday is unlikely to prompt many changes for the coming week.

“This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12. I wear a ring with that inscription. The next verse in 13 tells us, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down his life for his friends.” This reminds me of what my uncle, Hank Pollreis, wrote to my mother, Ida, “I am going to fight for you and your children.” He did in World War II when he died as a paratrooper in New Guinea.

LOVE

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Dewey reached up to straighten his tie and stuck a finger up a nostril by mistake. Here he was, on the most momentous evening of his life and he couldn’t do one little thing right. Tie a tie. Every 9-year-old boy getting ready for church could do it, but not Dewey.
