I am terribly saddened to hear the news of Bill's passing.
Bill will be missed. Family: please know I am praying for Godly comfort and peace for you and his friends as you mourn.
Though I worked with him, at times in the same department, for over 15 years, we weren't real close friends outside of work. However, I have always had the utmost respect for Bill, personally and professionally. He was always a pleasure to be around he seemed to always be in a good, pleasant mood, and I would always feel better after we parted, than before we met.

My daughter and I send our prayers to Bill Holley and his family. (My father was in the Navy in World War II and was also named "Bill".)
I met Bill briefly when I toured his property and signed a real estate contract with him. He made our business relationship effortless and I left with great feelings about the future. Our encounter was positive and friendly.
I know Bill must have bestowed blessings of kindness to everyone he met, and for that reason the world has also suffered a loss with his passing.

With deepest sympathy,

Martha Cesery

Bill was my best friend. I don't use that phrase lightly. I remember when he 1st started at Vistakon. I immediately recognized a young man that I had lots in common with. We had so many good times together and I miss his phone calls/magic tricks. My heart is broken but my Faith stands TALL. I know that we will all meet again.

Bill was a close friend and terrific colleague. I relied on his wisdom and guidance many times over the last 17 years. He will be sorely missed.

It was said of Bill, "He could just walk up to a machine, lay his hand on it, and know what was wrong with it."

Thank you Bill for the many laughs, the spirited conversations about politics, the warm conversations about God, the shared interest in music, and just being there when I needed friend.

You will be sorely missed my friend.
