To Mr. Holder's family, I send you my condolences on the loss of this wonderful soul. I met Mr. Holder when I was about 10 years old at a party full of Famous People. I was introduced to many Famous People, nearly all of whom were quite rude to me. When I met Mr. Holder and his wife, they awed me with their elegance and easy air. Then Mr. Holder started a conversation with me and he had a way of making me feel like I was the only person in the room. I had his full attention and interest...

I send my love to the Holder family. May Jehovah be with you in your grief.

To the Holder Family,
Mr. Geoffrey will always remain a enormous memory in my mind and heart as "Punjab" from the film "Annie". His whole hearted laugh could light up an entire world. RIP Mr. Holder GOD has once again called another giant personality into the golden, pearly gates of heaven.
