Uncle Dutch I have very fond memories of you. Love you and you will be missed. Say hi to grandpa, grandma, mom, Emma and Jammie for me. I’m sure all of you are having a party.
There are no words close to adequate to describe this man. Thank you for our time with him. Michael has known him as an Uncle from birth, me for the last 6 years. We will love the memories you have given us and miss you every day. We will all be together again. But until that day enjoy your reunion with your loved ones that have waited for you. We love you. Go Raiders
Kay my heart goes out to you if I can do anything please do not hesitate to call

The truth is that we all have our favorite patients…Not that we don´t appreciate most of the people we take care of; it´s just that we connect more closely with certain individuals with our matching orneriness. For me this connection was linked to Mr. Honers love of life and positive outlook. I was inspired by his passion for living life to the fullest and for being thankful for what he had. Often, despite numerous hardships and obstacles, Mr. Honer was happy and content. He faced life with a smile and often went above and beyond to share his joy with those around him. He had an extreme soft heart for Kay, his loving and good looking wife. He relayed a selfless philanthropy wherever he saw opportunity, When told about a potential life-ending diagnosis he remained calm and he considered the feelings of his family and friends before his own. Mr. Honer accepted life´s fickle intricacies and tried to make the best of all situations. He represented the type of individual I aspired to be. I see the best version of myself reflected in his actions. It is an honor and privilege to serve as his former Speech Pathologist. God Bless you Mr. Honer
Uncle Dutch and Aunt Kay are my Hollywood couple.
He is cooler than Steve McQueen and she is more beautiful than Ann Margaret. This I know because I was the babysitter. When they would go out I wanted to go too just to be seen with them. Man what a classy couple.
