I worked for Tom Holliday at Bellsouth for ten years. He was wise and knowledgable not only with technical advances in electronics but life skills as well. I learned a lot from Tom and I am so very sad of his passing. I just learned of this in 2020!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I have fond memories of Tom; his welcoming spirit and dry sense of humor! I'm afraid he came to know the DDS all too well, thanks to you, Janet, but I think he enjoyed the stories! I truly enjoyed speaking with him and being welcomed into your home, and also on a few official DDS "events". Tom was an accomplished and well respected individual, and he will be sorely missed by many. My deepest condolences. Chris Porter
