Horace and Jodie were students at NEW College, Edinburgh, Scotland, while I was there. All who knew them respected and loved them. He was truly a prince of a guy!- Dr. Henry Lewis Smith, retired Presbyterian pastor, Opelika, AL

Mr. Holden will be missed by the staff at Decatur Recreation Center. Rest on Mr. Holden, your job here on earth is complete.

I miss my brother!
