Homer

Homer Hewitt, late and legendary resident of our community, is remembered fondly and often with amusement.

A retired Philadelphia lawyer, he was “of the sea”.  And perhaps best known locally for his ocean swims, he amazed us all at the tough times and weathers he dipped in to.

He lived into his 90’s- mischievous till the end.  

Wife Gwen recently recalled introducing her newly betrothed fiance to her Family.

“Homer was about 60.  I was to pick him up at the airport but didn’t see him.  As he got closer

It dawned on me that the guy in the Grateful Dead tee shirt was Homer.  Bandana, earrings and all.  My brother’s initial reaction was pure shock, but my Parents saw Homer’s humor immediately.”
