Holton, "friend for life" (our pact), although life and friendship cut short, won't be forgotten. Always remembered for his "pillar of advice" for issues mechanical in form and for his gentle persuasion on matters of a personal nature. In his later life, but for circumstances too complex to comprehend, Holton has enabled my sensibilities to fathom the essence of humanity, and to this "friend for life" I am eternally grateful. - Posted by: Donovan Hale (Friend) on: Nov 16, 2015

My sincerest and profound condolences to his children in particular my sister lilieth. It has always been said GOD knows why he takes the good ones home before we want them to go. But I can never recall anyone ever being prepared for or wanting a loved to go home and rest. In these times we ask why but lets not; instead say thanks to the Lord because he lived a full and productive life and is in a better place. Lets vow to let your lives,his teachings and his indelible mark that he left on you all be always at your fore front. Live your lives as richly and as blessed as he did so his memory will live on for generations. WORK HARD LOVE STRONG, LIVE WEll and GOD will do the rest. Best regards - Posted by: Cleon Muir (brother of his daughter (lilieth)) on: Nov 14, 2015
