Sympathy Notes: To the Holiman Family: by Charlie Trantanella.
I was sorry to hear of Mr. Holiman's passing. I will always remember him leading us Boy Scouts on another hike or backpacking trip or whitewater rafting excursion. He was a great scoutmaster and made scouting a wonderful experience for myself and countless others
