Ray & Cindy were clients of Best Travel when we owned the business in Martinsville; back in the '80's. We always enjoyed working with them. Their dog was always dressed to the "nines". I am sure Ray will be sorely missed. Cindy, God Bless You.

Our family is deeply saddened by the death of Ray. Helen took dance from him and eventually became one of his many assistants with the younger students. Her joy was tying knots into the shoestrings of Ray whenever he would sit down and he seemed to enjoy it as well. He was a very talented gentleman, truly invested in his students and will be missed by the dance community as well as by those who knew him. Our prayers are for Cindy and the family.

I was saddened to see the obituary in the newspaper. I was a Ray Holinsworth dancer as a child in Eden, n.c. my first dance teacher. I remember the recitals etc. and the monogram that we wore saying we were ray holinsgworth dancers. We felt so big time! I remember Mr. Hollandsworth fondly, and i moved back to greensboro a few years ago, and wondered where he was. My prayers are with his family.
