AJ and family, I wanted to express my deepest sympathies to you in the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. I was fortunate to have Hollie as a member of my staff for many years in the National Guard Headquarters in Richmond. He provided outstanding support during the formation of the Command Logisitics Office. I enjoyed meeting many of the family at Hollie's retirement party and appreciated the opportunity to participate in the celebration of his military career. May God Bless all of you with his love and compassion during this time of loss.
