Charles Homm

Charles Robert Homm, 77 years of age, of Oakley, passed away Sunday, June 9th at Logan County Hospital in Oakley, KS. Charles was born in Colby, KS to Agnes and George Homm, Oct 23, 1941. He attended Oakley Public School and graduated in 1960.

Charlie LOVED Oakley and never left his hometown. From his first job running the Conoco Station at HWY 40/83 (before I-70 existed) to running his own business, he was Oakley. He was an excellent historian of all Oakley. Up until his passing he would enjoy his 2 hour car rides around Oakley, revisiting the past and telling what was there and when. His family was always fascinated in his profound memory of things in Oakley. Dementia had set in recently, but anything about his hometown and those he grew up with were 'spot on' in recalling. He loved Oakley, his home.

Charlie was preceded in death by his parents, George Homm and Agnes (Albers, Homm) Wharton; his brothers, George Jr. and Alfred Homm; sisters, Pauline Blair, Betty Schuster and Barbara Gallentine, and son-in-law Greg Sander.

He is survived by Joyce, his wife of almost 55 years; son Randy Homm; daughter Wendy (Sander) Schwarz and two grandchildren Kyle Sander & Kaylee Schwarz.

Much love to everyone to took part in his life.
