Mr. Holland was a man who loved his family and adored his grandchildren and great grandchildren.  He was seen cheering the kids on in any sports in which they participated. He loved gardening, telling funny jokes, and was THE BEST checker player.  For years, he was an avid walker and prided himself on the fact he averaged 500 miles a year.  No matter the circumstance when asked, he was always “Just Right”.  He will be loved and missed dearly by those who love him but they will proudly cherish every memory.
