James "Hassan Ali" Holden Jr.

ASA, The world is much different without you and your other family members that has returned to ALLAH. ASA

It's been a year but it feels like it was yesterday. I still find myself crying when I think about how much you meant to me and how much I miss your presence. I miss you grandpa

Salaam Alaikum, Gregory Wodyard here. I sincerely want to show my respect and life long regard for all the conversations, wisdom given and fatherly direction Brother Jim gave me personally during my youth. He was always the absolute "positive black man." My life today is far better from being around him. I extend my deepest sympathy.

As-Salaam-Alaikum
In the name of ALLAH, may the blessings of ALLAH be upon him. it has brought great pain to my heart to hear of the passing of Bro. James, its as if it was yesterday that I as a young man would be sitting in the Nile Restaurant and hear his voice, it would make the building move. My family and I extend our deepest sympathy

As Salaam Alaikum, I want to express my condolences to the family of Brother Hassan Ali. May Allah grant him paradise.

As Salaam Alaikum Dear Family of Brother Hassan Ali, aka Brother James, we regret hearing of his passing. Your Husband and family worked so hard and sacrificed very much to build a nation.

No one will ever know how many people your family feed, maybe a Million or more in your beautiful Nile Restaurant in Elizabeth, NJ, back in those days. Your family served us the best of foods with love and peace, those where very happy days that many will never forget!

I recall...

As-Salaamu Alaikum,
I send my deepest sympathy to the family of brother Hassan Ali. From Alaah we come, to Him we returm.
Amin
