Always remembered as a kind gentleman.

Rest In Peace.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your grandfather. I'll always remember him fondly from when we were teenagers at the ball park!

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Holloways passing. My late husband Tom was very found of him, and spoke of him often. May you find peace and comfort in your memories! What a wonderful man who had a great life! You are in my prayers.

May God be with you.
