ANDREW HOLLINGER Obituary

Name: Memorial service for ANDREW SCOTT HOLLINGER
Start: 2018-03-10T17:00:00.000Z
Location: Marsh Chapel

HOLLINGER, Andrew Scott Andrew Scott Hollinger passed on March 3, 2018 after suffering a sudden heart attack at the age of 55. Scott was born on July 2, 1962 in Wellesley, MA, to Jane Hollinger and the late Andy Hollinger. He graduated from UC Berkeley in 1984 where he met the love of his life, Peggy O'Byrne. They married in 1989. Scott began working in the specialty masonry, concrete, and waterproofing industry in 1985 with Western Waterproofing in San Francisco. He moved with his family to Hopkinton, MA, in 1993 to run Western's Boston branch and left in 2002 to join P.J. Spillane. In 2008 Scott founded the building restoration and preservation company Patriot Restoration, where he built a reputation for quality, integrity, and trust that earned him the respect and admiration of everyone he worked with. His business acumen, confidence, and honesty built Patriot into a company that today is highly regarded throughout New England. Scott loved life, particularly when it happened outdoors: in Alaska, where he travelled with a group of close friends almost every summer since 1995; on the Ultimate field, where he joined his teammates and friends in a game that he loved; in Maine, where he joined his father, brothers, and sons each year to fish Lake Sysladobsis; and in New Hampshire, on the shores of Pleasant Lake and in the community of Slope 'n Shore. Most of all he loved sharing life with his family and friends. Scott lived with a passion and joy that was infectious. He made every outing into an adventure that was memorable and full of laughs. Scott always lit up the room, always had the most fun, and always had the voice that rose above all others. He had a way of making you believe that what you were about to do together would be worth the effort, and probably a lot of fun too. He will rest in peace. He is survived and remembered by his wife Peggy; his sons Jake, Nick, and Will; his mother Jane; his sister Suzanne; his brothers Dave and Jeff; and his many friends and colleagues. A memorial service will be held at Marsh Chapel in Boston, MA on Saturday, March 10 at noon. The family would welcome donations in Scott's memory to the Sunapee Ragged Kearsarge Greenway, which protects and preserves natural areas near their home in New London, NH (www.srkg.org/donate).

Although I really did not know Scott, I feel that I knew what he was like by the comments of his friends....I am so sorry for your family. I loved talked with you, Peggy, at Jane birthday party. Fondly...Laura Beth Foster

Sincere condolences to Scott's family, his friends and colleagues. Over the years Bish and I and others at my company looked forward to Spring when Scott would visit us, and then again in the Fall when we would play the "Restoration Golf Cup" . The last event finished after sunset in total good humor with Scott, Bob, Greg and I having a blast. We shall sorely miss Scott, our lives are richer for having known him.

I am heartbroken to hear this tragic news. Scott so very generously donated to our auction fundraising efforts for ALS ONE the last two years and I had the honor and privilege to speak with him in January. I'm thinking of his family and friends during this difficult time.

My condolences to the Hollinger family. I didn't know Andrew, but work with his brother Dave. Clearly humility, depth, and kindness must be in the family genes. I share a bit more with the Hollinger gang as well. Early in my career I lived in West Grand Lake Stream Maine and like you spent many hours enjoying the fishing and tranquility of "Dobsie" lake. Times are turbulent for you now, but I'm hoping a passage from Ecclesiastes I recall will bring you a measure of peace. "All the waters run to the sea and yet the sea is not full, and from the place where they began, thither they return again."

I too remember Scott from our Wellesley days. He was the leader of the posse at the Brown school. He had a beat up old banana bike that he was constantly fixing. One day he decided to jump the brook...there was a buzz that went around the school that he was going to attempt it. So at recess, he piled some rocks on either side of the brook and propped some dilapidated boards on top creating two ramps. Kids slowly made their way over from the kickball field to the brook. 3rd graders, 4th, 5th and 6th graders too...I think I even remember a teacher or two peaking from the 4 square game. Then he went for it! Pedaled and pedaled, faster and faster....and flew through the air...he was our own evil kenievel. It seemed like he was jumping the Grand Canyon! And he made it! That moment he became a legend at the Brown school. Just like in The Sandlot! I will never forget it. Rest In Peace my friend. You will always be a legend!

I too remember Scott from the Wellesley days as the ring leader of the posse. Scott had this beat up old banana bike that he constantly fixed. I remember one day at Brown school when all the kids met at recess because Scott was going to jump the brook, he had piled up rocks and placed dilapidated boards on either side of the brook in order to jump the thing on his bike, no one had ever done it, no one had ever tried...until Scott...it was going to be huge! He was our own evil kenievel! Kids came from all over...and he made it! He made it! He was a living legend. Just like the sandlot days. Rest In Peace my friend. You will always be a legend.

When we first moved to Wellesley, the first day, I was walking in the neighborhood, 4 or 5 years old (by myself, I believe... different era). I was glum, angry we had moved. Walked past Scott's yard. He was in front, said, "wanna play?" And we just rolled for 7 years. Bikes, baseball cards, legos, models, digging in the mud at Wights pond, roaming the railroad tracks and Leo J Martin golf course, fireworks, sleepovers. So many laughs.... winging a super ball around in his finished basement and chasing that sucker everywhere. The Hollinger phone number is still etched in my mind. We seemed to never have homework. It was Home and straight out into the neighborhood to play. Halcyon days.
I have a painful regret that we didn't reconnect in adulthood. I always wanted to, especially since I am in LA now, but never pulled it off.
RIP Scott. I am having such a good afternoon digging back and remembering old times. We had so much FUN! You were a great friend.
Sending love to Mrs. Hollinger, Suzy, Dave and Jeff and all the others I haven't had a chance to meet.
