My condolences to Pam and Jim's descendants

Our deepest sympathy for Jim and family.

I worked with Jim in the 70's when he was smoking Raliegh cigarettes, and saved the coupons from the packs. He was a great foreman & general foreman to work for. Also played 16 softball with him. I looked forward to seeing him at the 25 year club Inland picnic every year, and still miss he and his friends, Dewey Freeman, Andy Brown & Dave Ossello the last few years.

God bless you Jim Holland! I'll never forget our talks. You were one of a kind and will be missed by many. I remember our vacations together, the good times and bad, I remember how dedicated you were to your friends and family. I remember your patience with me as a young man and how you tried your best to mentor me. I will always remember what a terrific grandfather you were to my children. I will miss you my friend!

Dear Pam, I would like to extend out deepest sympathies to you and the Holland family. As a neighbor and friend when we were growing up and a coworker at Inland Jim was always a pleasure to be around. May "Dutch" find a good cold beer and a 300 game in Heaven.
