Rev. James Holtz, has been a long time friend. When He & his dear wife Ava were pastors in West Virginia, we had the privilege of ministering in their church. Our children were small and he was like a father figure to us and a grandfather figure for our children.

Later when we were preparing to go to the missions field, Brother built the crates we needed to take some large items to the mission field. In his latter years, Sis Ava had gone on to be with the Lord, he was a source of great comfort by conversing with him by phone.

May God comfort and bless the family that this Pastor, Father, Grandfather & friend has left behind. The joy of seeing him again is a great comfort.
