Hollywood was a old and dear friend to me since I was 14 years old and will be missed tremendosly. His laugh, his jokes, his unremarkable way he had of knowing when something was wrong with a person and he went out of his way to make sure you left him with a smile of his face. He was protective of the ones he loved and made an effort everyday to put a smile on anyones face who encountered him. John Wayne Holley (Hollywood), you are loved and will be missed!

I am going to miss Hollywood. He always had a smile and some of the pranks he pulled were so funny. May God Bless

Hollywood will be missed at the Veterans Care Center. His smile, and his laugh made one forget his troubles. God Bless you Hollywood, and your family at this time.
