MONTOYA -- Clifton A. Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with time of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee. God wanted me now, he set me free! We miss you. Love you always and miss you, Your girls Vanessa and Chanell, Mom and Dad, and brothers, Richard, Manuel and Greg.

ROOS -- Homer C. Roos, 83, passed away in his sleep at the home of son and daughter-in-law on Friday, March 28, 2008, after a two-year battle with skin cancer. Homer was born July 9, 1924, the son of Rev. Henry E. and Ella M. Roos, in Cape Girardeau, MO but grew up in Mason, TX. He graduated from Mason High School in 1940 and enlisted in the Navy in September at age 17. After two shore duty stations, he was assigned to the U.S.S. White Plains (CVE-66) in 1943. The ship took part in several invasions in the Pacific theater climaxing with the battle of Layte Gulf on Oct. 25, 1944. His task force earned the Presidential Citation for their part in this, the largest naval battle of modern times. He had met Lois Tilley while on leave in 1944, and they were married in Los Angeles on July 11, 1945. After an honorable discharge from the Navy in 1945, he and Lois moved back to Texas. He entered TCU in 1947 as a pre-med student. After the birth of his son, Joseph H. Roos, his full time studying became part time. He finally received his BA in Business Administration and economics in 1956 from Lamar State College of Technology after attending four colleges. He always said that his diploma had the wrong name on it because Lois was the one who should have graduated, only hers would have been with honors. After living in Fort Worth, Baytown, Houston, and Beaumont, TX, he started working with the FHA as a clerk typist in Washington, DC. The family then moved to St. Louis for Homer's training as a real estate appraiser, then back to Fort Worth for his first assignment. He and Lois moved to Albuquerque in 1973 and to Bernalillo in 1976, where he lived until his death. He retired from the Albuquerque FHA office as deputy chief appraiser in 1979. In 1982 he and Lois started Roos Appraisal Service, and he retired in 1991. Homer enjoyed his family and many friends. He was a lifelong fisherman, and for the last 30 years, enjoyed traveling in the RV. He had a lifetime involvement in service, first as a member of Civitan, and finally as a member of his beloved Rotary. He was a Paul Harris, fellow of Rotary. He was also a Boy Scout leader, provided state and federal tax service for senior citizens, delivered Meals on Wheels, and was an adult reading tutor. He was also active with The U.S.S. White Plains reunion organization. Homer was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Carolin Ann; and his beloved Lois, who died in 2000 after 55 years of marriage. He is survived by his son, Joe and wife, Sheryl, of Rio Rancho, NM; sister, Lillian Townsend, of Derby, KS; his companion, Judy Johnston; and a host of nieces and nephews.
