- Im incredibly sad to hear about Mr. Homeister, my 6th grade math teachers passing. I remember walking into class my first day with bright hotpink lipgloss on, and he called me hot lips. I loved hearing about his stories about when he worked on the trains/railroads. We got to talking one day in class, and I was talking about my grandmother. Come to find out he knew her. He was truly a wonderful person, and one of my alltime favorite teachers! Thank you for having an impact on my life, and I'll surely cherish the memories in my heart! ❤ Heather LaBelle

- I cannot stop crying over Mr. Homeister's loss. I will be praying for all of you during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort in knowing how much of a legacy he left with his students. We are all forever grateful for such a blessing! He was my 6th grade teacher back in 1991. He was my favorite teacher. He believed in me, helped me, lifted me up, made me laugh, and had a tremendous impact on my life. He wrote in my yearbook "Remember our math motto: Practice, practice, practice! then next year will be a breeze." He would be happy to know that now I do finance for a living. :) He was truly one in a billion! Brianne Ott
- To the family of Mr. Homeister you have lost a dear family member , but the world has lost a great man and mentor. His legacy will live on forever in the hearts and minds of the thousands of school kids he made an indelible impression on. He was my Fourth grade teacher at Chapman when he had only been teaching 2 years. I had the great opportunity to run into him at a Carlson football game a few years ago. I walked up to him an after 30 plus years he still knew me by sight and exclaimed " is that Billy Weller?". He then went on to tell me he would ride his bike by my house on Olmstead and stop by and talk about farm equipment with my dad in our barn... my dad passed away in 84 and I never knew Orville and he were friends. Orv , you will be deeply missed by me and I'm sure hundreds of other students that have had the privilege to meet you and be influenced by your kind words. Bill Weller
- We are so very sorry.....we remember him from RFB Hockey....he was a good father and family man. Gary and Theresa Howell
- Dear Nancy and family, please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this dufficult time. As a former Carlson alumni I never had Orv as a teacher, but great things have been said about him as a person and educator. May the Lord comfort you during this difficult time. Katrina Burnham
- Saddened by the news of this. Mr. Homeister was my 6th grade teacher at Parsons Elementary. A couple days out of the week he would meet us in the gym after school and play floor hockey with us. He would always talk hockey with our class. Very dedicated and always there for anyone who needed help. 20 years later and still have fond memories of this great man. Gary Jackson
- My deepest condolences to the Homeister family. As your family copes through this challenging, heartbreaking times, I hope you find comfort in all the warm heartfelt comments from the people he impacted.

Thank you for being such a remarkable person. Matt Hedke

- Reading all these messages lets me know I'm not alone in thinking Mr Homeister was the best teacher. I was lucky enough to have had him for 4th grade in the mid 70's and it sounds like he continued to be an awesome educator throughout his career. I'm sure he was just as great as a husband, father, grandfather , as well. Between his family that he loved and the countless students that loved him he left a legacy to be proud of. Nick Coates

Recently he posted a collection of photos from his years growing up in Riverview, offering an insight as to what the area around Sibley Road looked like. Since I travel that quite a bit, it was very interesting too see it through his eyes. David H. Kuykendall
