MY DAD WAS MY HERO-Written by his son, Wayne.
My father, Homer Douglas Brunson was my hero. He taught me everything I needed to know about being a man and I will always be grateful to have been his son.
My father worked hard all his life, stopping school at the 9th grade to help on the family farm.
He grew up during The Great Depression and that shaped him as a man to work hard and use his money wisely. He did many things to make a living throughout his life; farmer, cotton picker, mailman, navy man, painter, delivery driver, welder, and display fixture designer and assembler.
He was self taught, good with math, and he developed a love of solving puzzles and a natural ability to repair most anything. He was a very clear communicator and he lived his life to the best of his ability, always putting the need of his family first. He worked hard to provide for his family and was very good with his hands; he was my original model of a 'handyman'. He was a good man, and a very loving husband and father.
He was always willing to lend a hand around the house and he would always help mom cook and clean. He loved to watch the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Ranger on TV. He could make an excellent beef stew and he loved his peanut butter and syrup after a meal.
My Dad lived his life with a consistent set of core values and a code of conduct that was inspiring.
1. Family comes first and your neighbors are part of your extended family.
2. Respect your elders and be polite. Say please if you want something, thank you when you
get it and be sure to say 'yes sir' or 'yes ma'am' always.
3. Be honest and fair.
4. Do it right the first time.
5. Clean up after yourself.
6. Help people that need help.
7. Hard work never killed anyone.
8. If you see something that needs fixing, fix it.
9. If you borrow something, return it.
10. Keep your promises.
