I am so sorry to hear about your loss and I express my sincere sympathy to you and your family.
I’ll always remember that Holly rode w me to the Emergency room when I had run into someone’s knee and had to get stitches. I think we were playing ball in your back yard! He was someone to depend upon.
Always enjoyed seeing Holly and Edna attend services at Emmanuel. Cheerful and unassuming, they generously brought sweets for many events. Peace be with the family as they mourn. Nancy Moats
We hope that many family memories comfort you as you remember the life of your father and husband. Our prayers are with you. Bill and Jenny Reinhart

Dear Albert: We feel deeply sorry about not having one last opportunity to say goodbye before your sudden departure. Then again, given your absolute kindness and calm demeanor and patience, we are sure that you felt certain about how much we love you and respect you. Of course I will still cherish the time when we shared birthday cakes surrounded by loved ones, and your absence will make that time of the year the more meaningful, while only transcended by the wonderful family you leave behind, a realm which we came to thoroughly enjoy. In them, your eyes’ special, expressive light is perpetually reawakened, rekindled everyday. Thank you Albert. Patricia & Jose Luis.
Holly was a thoughtful, helpful neighbor to us for over 20 years. We will always be grateful for his friendship.
