Homer Lee James

Oklahoma City in 1955. It was there that he met the love of his life, Kay, and they were married on August 2, 1958.

On May 26, 1959, they welcomed their daughter, Kathy, followed by the birth of their son, Lee, on December 28, 1961. Homer was immensely proud of his children and deeply devoted to his family.

Homer began his career with Council Construction Company, where he worked his way up to the position of vice president before the company closed in 1982. He then continued his career with Foreman Construction Company, specializing in office interior work. Many cherished family memories were made during weekends spent camping and fishing with relatives and friends.

In 1982, Homer joined the Jones Masonic Lodge, an organization he dearly loved and remained devoted to throughout his life.
