Hollis possessed an A+ personality that awarded him many friends and loved ones,especially his loving family. My parents and I spent many happy times in their home. (Barbara, Hollis, Pam & Cindy). Hollis had a magnetic way about him that you enjoyed with each visit or chance meeting. May God bless you in the coming days as you say goodbye. Love, Rexine & Jock
