ROLAND HOLT

Dear Holts,

My condolences on the passing of your wonderful Dad, Grandpa, & Great Grandpa. How wonderful was his life, how many he has touched with his service. I will always remember how he would shake hands and simultaneously pull you into him for a hug. Then he would look you in the eyes and ask how you were doing. It was impossible to not say "great" because that is how he made you feel.

Doug, Mary Ann and Martha, and the rest of the family, I know what a great example and influence both your father/grandfather and your mother-in-law Ruth/grandmother were in your lives. I know you will miss them for awhile until we are reunited in the realms of joy.

Dear Holt Family, our thoughts are with you all at this time. I don't think I ever walked in to the 7th Ward building that Bishop Holt didn't grab my hand with a warm handshake and pull me in close to hear how I was doing. Roland Holt (and LaFawn) were icons in our lives. Their physical and spiritual stature were unique! I have always compared every scoutmaster in the many wards we've lived in to Roland Holt. What a giant of a soul. I loved him dearly.

Our Scoutmaster's voice would ring down from the mountain " Boy this is really Livin !" Rolland had taken us young scouts on a hike to the top of Bald mountain while we were staying at Camp Steiner. It was a tuff climb and Roly would be there every step of the way saying " You'll get your second wind" " It's just around the corner" " Don't let your body tell your mind what to do "
These were just a few of my Scoutmaster's many sayings. Rolland was the best example of leadership a young...

I just wanted to thank those who have sent notes of sympathy. He was about the best grandpa you could ask for. I have lived in Utah all my life and he and Fawnie were always so supportive in coming to school and church events for our family. I loved attending Skyline High and Wasatch Junior nearby their home in East Millcreek. And, how even though he has been out of the state for much of the last 3 or 4 years he still kept in touch. I take solace in knowing he had a grand reunion with his...

Rebecca, Steve, Doug and families.

It is with much sympathy at the passing of your father/grandfather and much love for this good man and friend to all who knew Roland, that we congratulate all of you for the wonderful legacy that he gifts to you. We know you will continue to feel his influence throughout the remainder of your lives to bless you all. I regret I will be out of town next weekend and will miss giving each of you a big hug. Love you.

Sincerely,

Dear Holt Family We are so sorry for your loss, your father had a great impact on many of us, his love and impact that he had on the 7th ward members has left a legacy of faith in many family's and will continue to effect generations to come. May you rejoice in the life he lead.

Bishop Holt had a deep impact in the lives of so many he worked with. From scouting to running the ward, he kept busy touching the lives of many. I know that our family was influenced by his loving and caring attitude and wonderful personality.
He will truly be missed!

I will forever cherish the memories I have of following our great Troop 304 Scoutmaster, Roland Holt. I can still hear in my mind our troop song and visualize our large troop marching along singing as we go. Roland left an indelible imprint for good on my life, and lives of many others. Thank you for sharing your father with so many of us. Bob Neel
