On behalf of the American Legion, we extend our thoughts and prayers to the entire Holloway family. We shall always remember Bob's service to our Nation as a Marine and Legionnaire, and his support to Honor Flight Syracuse as our Laker Limo driver. Remembering Bob's ready smile, his touch of class in honoring fellow veterans, and his strong faith, helps us always see God's shining light in America. Semper Fi & Godspeed, Captain. For God & Country.

Barbara- Al and I were so sad to hear of Bob's passing. We were remembering the time we had on our sailboat when Bob clutched me in terror with his huge hand. Bob, we hope your waters are calm and the wind is fair.

Bob and I were part of the "country boys" who transferred into P.S. duPont H.S. beginning in the tenth grade. We all felt P.S. Was the best school in the state for academics, and we wanted to play football for it. We were never disappointed with our decision, the only hardship being missing the school bus when we stayed late for athletics. This problem was solved by Bob "borrowing" the family station wagon for school and after school activities to include double dating. We were just reminiscing yesterday about Bob and I putting our money together to put gas in the wagon. Often, we ended up with less than a dollar; but it always got us where we needed to go. With the time we spent together, we became fast friends and remained so. The passing of Bob was a shock to both Val and me. Our prayers go out to his family and friends in this sorrowful time. Be thou at piece, Bob. You led en extraordinary life, and it was an honor to share part of it with you. Jim and Val

Barbara, I am saddened to hear about Bob's passing. I knew Bob when I was a member of the Rotary in Skaneateles.

So Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Played football with Bob at Columbia. His picture reminded me of his terrific smile, deep mellow voice, which often chuckled with mischievous laughter. My condolences to all those who will deeply miss him.

Bob, my dearest best friend of over 61 years. My high school classmate; fraternity brother; and later in life business colleague. During my junior year in high school I was taken in by Bob's parents during a very difficult period of my life. I became the third brother in his household. We maintained close contact throughout our lives. Bob was there for me and had my back always. I was privileged to have known him and his family.
Our prayers go out to his family and loved ones during this sad time.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Bob and I were classmates at P. S., both graduating in 1958. He was a fine gentleman and will be missed.

Condolences to your family. May you receive comfort from the word of God during this time of loss. Acts 24:15 says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44. Revelation 21:3,4 promises that one day death, mourning, and outcry will be no more. To find out more regarding the hope for the dead visit JW.org and search "death".

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
