My condolences to Helen and Holloway's family.
Holloway was one of the finest men I had the opportunity to know and work with it. I will be forever grateful for the faith and opportunities he allowed me in the pipeline industry at such a young age. It was the foundation for aa almost mythical career on some of the largest pipeline projects in the World.
