| Sadly, on Friday, October 16th, our pig Homer passed away. Though we had the pleasure of his company for 18 years, the sadness of his death undoubtedly will linger in our hearts forever. He truly has left a hoof mark on our hearts. However difficult this time is, the pleasure of knowing that he really had a great life with us is comforting.
To our friends~ So many of you came to know Homer simply because he was a legend. Who else had a pig in their house? The stories most of you heard were endless, Homer always left a lasting impression on everyone who met him. Some of you actually got to “pig sit” and experience the early morning wakeups, never can get enough to eat when you’re a pig I guess. He was some pig. He was an icon in the neighborhood and “something” to talk about. Even if you didn’t know who the Rudershausen’s were, you surely knew who Homer was and where he lived.
To our family ~ Who else in the family would have had such a creature? Who on earth would take a pig to a baseball game or to Oktoberfest in Bonita. None the less, he was part of the family and everyone understood that. He was loved, definitely loved.
Finally, for those of you who share the love of animals as we do, thank you so much for all the support and kindness you have shown through the past difficult days. Understanding the ways of a pig has made us far more appreciative of them, hopefully it will do the same for those he touched. I’m sure that if Homer knew how famous he became, he would be really proud.
A little pig goes a long way, but Homer left a lifetime of memories.

| Bill and Anita,
Even though we do not live close to one another these days, I personally still remember to this day "house sitting" Homer on a couple of occasions years ago. I am deeply saddened to have found this memorial and have a lot of funny memories of Homer from the "old days". Yes, it is true that you guys were known for your "different than the norm" house pet, but I can't think of anyone else who could have provided that type of environment for Homer.
We do support animal rescue groups and our local shelter fund drives all year long and will make our next donation in Homer's memory! WE will never forget him! |
