Homer June McCullough (1930 - 2011)
Homer June "Didge" McCullough, a retired U.S. Air Force major, passed away peacefully after a brief battle with cancer Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2011, at his home in North Richland Hills after a wonderful and exciting life. Memorial service: Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial service at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 6, at Memorial Park Funeral Services. Interment: Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery.
Didge was deeply and thoroughly loved by many. He was born March 11, 1930, and was raised on a farm in central Illinois. He was a distinguished pilot in the Air Force and started several companies after retiring from the Air Force in 1970. He traveled extensively in his life and lived and worked throughout the United States and internationally. Didge touched the lives of many with his unsinkable spirit, tireless optimism, kind nature and devotion to the needs of his family. He was professionally accomplished but humble and modest - he rarely complained and had a mischievous sense of humor. He disavowed his Yankee heritage in order to win the heart of a Texas girl and swore his allegiance to her and the state of Texas, where they eventually retired. In return, she provided him a beautiful family and loving home. Of all things, he most enjoyed time with his family of which he cherished each moment. To say he will be missed is to say the Mona Lisa is just a painting. He was preceded in death by one child and one grandchild.
Survivors: His loving wife of over 56 years; two sisters; four children; and nine grandchildren.
