To the Holian Family, I am deeply saddened to hear of Bill's passing, I have missed him here at Atlas since he retired. No matter what he was going through he always had a smile, a hug and a joke for you. He made a huge impression on me from day 1. Although I am saddened, I know after what he has been through he is in a much better place. He was a pillar of courage and strength for everything that he had went through. I know he will be missed dearly. My prayers are with you all!

Beth, Thinking of you, your mom, your brothers, and all of your family. The way Ella's face would light up when grandpa played with her at the Down Syndrome walk was so sweet. And I know that is such a small fraction of the light and joy and caring that your father brought to your family. He is watching over you now, and I know he is so very proud of you all. You are in my prayers, Kate Spille
