Remembering the late, John Hollis:
My thoughts and Prays will always be with this family. I was not aware of this celebration and would have loved the opportunity to particate. What a warm and thoughtful way to honor such a loved and respected person's Birthday.

John Hollis has been a friend of my family and me for many years. He came by to visit my Mother frequently. He always knew she would make him eat. He loved her home-made vegetable soup. John's niece, Emily, was my previous boss at Caterpillar in Griffin. My condolences to you Emily.

I met John in 1975 and we became friends standing on the side of hwy 19 looking for a missing person . we've been buds to this day . I was offered his job after he passed away and even got his office.. I thank of him everyday I work and everyday I cook on my grill.Being with his family & friends [bob c.] on his birthday was an enjoyment. As johnnie caldwell said ... i love you man .... dewey yarbrough

I really miss my uncle. he was my idol. John hollis was my hero. when he died it felt like the world just stopped. I know that he is in a better place now. I think about him everyday. It feels so weird that he is gone. I LOVE JOHN W. HOLLIS ALOT. He was a loving person. He used to always make me laugh when i saw him.

My uncle was a huge idol in my life. i really do miss him alot. but, i know that he is in a better place now. My uncle always told me that i could be the best lawyer in the world if i only believed that. he was a inspiration in my life. He did play a important role in my life.
