JAMES JOSEPH HOMANT

Jim proudly served in the Korean War finishing as an Air Force Staff Sergeant. After his service he became a Pattern Maker, working in both the automotive and aircraft industries in Michigan and California. Jim was an avid reader, he loved bowling and golfing, and he loved to travel; he made it to all fifty states along with many European countries.

Jim took the time to share his creative talents with his children; he taught woodworking skills using the tools he inherited from his father. He built an electric organ, a camper, and even a glockenspiel. He loved to build things out of wood: furniture, plant stands, and anything else Fran wanted.

Music was a lifelong passion. He loved to sing, play the harmonica, and guitar. He kept a vast library of music which he enjoyed sharing and listening to every day. He will always be remembered by his family for the song, “You Are My Sunshine”. Jim had a great sense of humor; nearly 94 years of laughing, learning and teaching. A life well lived.
