In addition, he co-owned and operated "The Appraisal School of Morris and Overstreet" for nine years. He is married to the former Mary Aurelia Taylor, a native of Greenville, South Carolina, and has two adult children. In his later years, he has been able to rekindle a love of writing, poetry, and an interest in the Civil War, re-cultivate a love gardening and fishing, and continue his lifelong love of animals, especially cats. Homer and Mary are the proud "parents" of eight- year old Mittens, a gray tabby.
