Mr. Holl was my teacher in 1977 and not only was a talented and brilliant educator, but he changed my life by his candid and insightful wisdom. He saw my potential and was the catalyst for changing my nonsensical jocularity to that of a serious scholar. Each day I have remembered that pinnacle moment he confronted my ability to exceed what I thought was my potential, and I owe my success in large part to him. I am grateful to have been blessed with him as my teacher and mentor, and shall never forget his life- changing impact on me. It was an honor to have been his student, as I am sure it applies to many. I shall never forget his part in positively leaving an indelible mark in my formation. I bid you peace, Mr. Holl, and my sincere and heartfelt condolences to those who had you in their lives.
