Not sure what to say?

Mr. Holley was one of my teachers when I was in 7th grade at Hicks Memorial School in Tolland and I remember how we all looked up to him. He was a great role model and I never forgot him. My condolences to the family. Darrell Stark

BuySo sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He is well remembered by us.

My sincere thoughts to the family and friends of Mr Holley.....

Mr. Holley was a wonderful person who had life-long impact on many, many people. I knew him when I was a student, and worked with him when I returned to Middletown as a teacher. I still remember his right-to-the-point comments after he observed and evaluated me teaching a class. He was supportive, but always included enough "push" to promote personal and professional growth. My thoughts and condolences go out to his family and all others who will miss his presence. I'm sure you have lots...

Strong disciplinarian and a friend to all who let him into their hearts. I can visually see him walking the halls with my eyes closed at W.W.H.S.
Blessings to the Holley family as you create wonderful memories that will heal your hearts.

Peace

Bill, I am very sorry to read about the loss of your Dad. My deepest condolences to you and your family at this sad time. Sincerely, Noreen O'Connell

Our deepest sympathies to Joan and family ! He was a fabulous administrator and always there for you as a teacher . We need more like him in our school systems . He always made time to chat and give a hug when I saw him in Middletown . God Bless and Godspeed my friend .

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Holley family. Mr Holley was much more than an Asst Principal, he was our role model, counselor and friend. Thank you "Doc" for your fatherly love and support.

Ohhhh. Mr. Holley! From first grade on up to high school, he was our phys. ed. teacher. We loved him dearly. He was so kind, and fair. To this day(and I'm 63 now) my posture is exemplary because of Mr. Holley. If he saw me slouch in the least, he would say "Luginbuhl! Up against the wall! Now!10 minutes!"
I never wanted to disappoint him!
Rest In Peace, Mr. Holley. My husband and I will always remember your kindness and wonderful ways of coaching, bringing the best out of all of us...
