MG Holmes was a good friend and I was imressed by his integrety and character from the first time I met him after returning from Vietnam and joining the 91st Division as a 1LT. He had a great impact on me and as aresult, I stayed in the Army and retired last October from NORAD and USNORTHCOM.
Gretchen and I send you our warm thoughts and prayers,

Mr. Holmes and Family,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I served under MG Holmes here in California with the 91st Division. I use to give the General bakery items to take with him when he visited my Bakery Lab at Ft. Jackson, SC. He was a great man whom I will always remember.
God Bless you and your family.
