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.

APODACA -- In Loving Memory Anthony M. Apodaca April 3, 1972 - September 11, 2005 Happy birthday to you my son, another year in heaven. Wow, 36, you are really getting old, and you have been gone almost three years. Each day is harder for me. Antz, I want to share a little story with you. When you were a little boy it would be like three or four days before your birthday. You would ask me every day, "Mom, is today my birthday?" I would say, "No, not today." And, then on the day of your birthday you would say, "Is today my birthday?" I would say, "Yes, today is your day." You would give me this big, big hug and say, "Thank you Mom for my birthday," and you would open your arms so wide and say, "I love you this much." And, I would tell you, "Thank you for being my son," and I would get a big smile. I can still see you smiling, and I can hear you laughing. You are in my heart, and my arms ache to hug you. I miss you so much. And, it doesn't get better with time, because I want to see you so much. But, I know I will see you again someday. I want you to know that your son is so handsome. He has a lot of you in him. He is a light in my life. I love you my Anthony, and I miss you every second of every day. Until we meet again. Happy Birthday! Love, Mom, Max, Rudy, Matt, and all the kids. See you in heaven
