Read MoreI only knew Pliny for about 13 years, but appreciate everything he did. I will miss our weekends working on models in his basement and just chatting... I wish I had the foresight to gain more from his mentoring that I did (and even that was a lot). Your memory will live on. Thank you.

I didn't personally know Capt. Holt, but having family in the military, I felt compelled to read his obituary - and am I glad I did. What an extraordinary man, I do wish I could've had a conversation with him. His many contributions throughout his life should be inspirational to us all. It seems that he lived his life to the fullest! I will keep his family in my thoughts and prayers, and I thank Capt. Holt for, among many things, his service to our Country. God Bless!

Pliny was the embodiment of the term Rennaisance Man. I knew him for about 40 years, and his breadth of knowledge and talents continually amazed me. A life lived fully and well. Rest in peace, sailor. Your like may be not be seen again.
