Homer B. Marlow's Obituary
HOMER MARLOW
Homer B. Marlow was born in Arabia, Kentucky, on October 6, 1930, and passed away on January 25, 2012, at the age of eighty-one. Homer served his country for five and a half years as a sheet metal mechanic while enlisted in the United States Air Force. He continued his trade until retiring in 1992 from Local 66 of the NW Sheet Metal Workers and recently received his fifty-year pin. Homer spent the last forty-one years of his life in Tacoma, Washington, where he enjoyed his most cherished possession-his family. Next to family gatherings, he loved to go fishing with anyone who would join him. He will be truly missed! Homer is survived by his wife of sixty years, Fern; four sons, Vance (wife Robin); Roger (wife Susan); Mark; Bruce (wife Kim); and one daughter, Diane (husband, Melvin) Blair. In addition, Homer is survived by eleven grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, and his sisters Christine MacDonald of South Dakota and Violet Mastaler of Michigan. Services will be held Friday, February 3, 2012, 11 AM, at the Mountain View Funeral Home in Lakewood, WA, where he will also be buried. Donations may be made to the local Salvation Army in Homer's name. Arrangements by Mountain View Funeral Home.
