Jeffery B. Homan

Jeffrey Homan, of Leesport, PA, passed away at his residence after suffering many years of chronic pain in his back, causing his disability from doing the things he most cherished. He was a graduate of Muhlenberg Township High School in 1966 and enlisted in the U.S. Airforce in 1971, and was honorably discharged in 1975, after serving in the Vietnam War.

Jeff had a compassion for antiques and the history behind their value. He was a lifetime member of The Perkiomen Chapter of The Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA) and The Reading Motorcycle Club where he had many friends that shared their passions. The Reading MC is one of the oldest clubs in America recognized by The American Motorcycle Association (AMA), which attributes to his passion for the history of motorcycles. Jeff owned some rare antique motorcycles that Included a 1917 Henderson, several Harley Davidsons and a Reading Standard that were built in Reading, PA from 1903 to 1922. The motorcycles were all sold as his health and finances became bothersome. He had a vast knowledge of the Reading Standard Marque and was sought after by many aficionados throughout the world. He worked at The Dana Corporation, The Reading Railroad, and the US Post Service.

Jeff is predeceased by his parents Bruce Homan and Jeanette (Dailey), who he cared for as they aged, by moving them to his home in Leesport to assist them in their daily lives. He is survived by his Aunt Shirley Bressler and his cousin Larry Bressler from his father's side of the family. On his mother's side he is survived by his cousins David Dailey, Donna Loadholt, Debra Motacki, Gerrald Dailey and Bryon Dailey.

There will be a celebration of life at The Stitzel Family Funeral Home located at 3300 Kutztown Rd., Reading, PA on Friday, Oct.16th from 5 to 7PM. Followed by a private burial for family members on Saturday at the Saint Peters Lutheran Church Cemetery in Molltown, PA.
