We were all saddened to learn of your father's death. For Judy & I it was especially sad news as you know, if it were not for your father I would not have met my wife of 47 years.
I knew you both when you were young. Your father invited me to go to Jackson on the weekends, ski at Black Mtn, and look after you in the evenings while your parents went out. I also helped get the Chevy wagon back to MA safely at the end of the weekend. I will always be grateful for your parent's generosity at the slopes and our trips to the north country. It was a wonderful time in my life and think often of "the skier" that made it possible.

I,m so sorry to hear of Bob's death! Having served with him as a director at Attitash and also having Skied with him and admiring his teriffic style and grace, I'm left with one thought, it was indeed an honor and a privilege to have know him. I hope Heaven has a Big Snowy Mountain where the sun always shines.

In Sympathy, John H. Blake

Mr. Holloran,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
