I never had John as a teacher or Principal but he was in the district the same time as my Dad Russell Kite. May he Rest In Peace

I remember back in the day before I could drive, Mr. and Mrs. Holder would pick up my younger brother and me to take us to FCC while our mom had to go to work at Napa Bowl. He was a nice man! My sincere condolences to his loved ones.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Mr Holder. My boys all had him as the principal of El Centro. He was such and kind and caring man. He had a true love for children and their education. We know he will be missed terribly. Our deepest sympathy to the Holder Family.

Such fond memories of Principal Holder at El Centro. I later ran into him at the QOV when he was volunteering. His heart was so big. I consider myself blessed to have had him in my life.
