Many prayers to the family. I was so happy to meet Dr. Holland during our Medical Society of Virginia Annual meeting this past October. Dr. Holland and I had been talking for many years, but we never had a chance to meet. We invited him to come to our meeting to be there for the award given out in his name, The Clancy Holland Award, and he came and had a wonderful time. Dr. Holland had the biggest smile on his face. I was so honored to meet him and also to have him take the time to come to...

Dr. Holland was our doctor at Bayside Family Practice. He was a wonderful doctor. Our prayers to the family for your loss. Linda Glisson

Dr. Holland was my family physician for many years. He was such a kind, caring, and compassionate doctor, one who took the time to listen and went out of his way to be supportive in other areas of my life besides my medical care. He was a wonderful person and he will be greatly missed.

Most of my interactions with Clancy were through the VAFP Meetings over the last 40 years. He was always kind and upbeat. He was a model to us all, especially regarding medical ethics, patient care and public service. Yes, a life well served. Larry Kagan MD(ret)

What a tremendous loss for the family, our community, and Virginia. I first met Clancy Holland as his paperboy in the 1960s. He soon became our family Doctor and continued for many years. As an adult, I recognized and valued his public service to the community and state and looked upon him as a mentor for visionary and compassionate leadership - which he practiced his entire life. My condolences to his family. Rest in peace my friend.

Dr Holland was a long time neighbor to my parents in Baylake Beach. He actually made house calls to our home several times early in his career. I also knew him when I worked at the Virginia Marine Science Museum. What a great man he was! Condolences to the family.

I will forever be grateful for Clancy´s kind and supportive treatment of my mother during difficult years. His common sense approach to medical treatment and honest caring and reassurance was a blessing to my Mom, Betty, and to her family. He was a unique medical professional with insight into his patients needs. We will always remember his professional wisdom, warmth, and kindness. Our condolences to his family.

Clancy was and will forever be an inspiration to me as a physician, a community leader, and a human being. He was truly one of my most favorite people ever! I will miss him greatly, Lee Kanter, MD
