I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Holt when he was at Central Fl Community College. He always had our respect and admiration for his kindness to everyone, for his professionalism and for everything he did to help serve our students. My sympathies to the Alderman family and may some great memories sustain you during this time. God Bless. Cash Pealer
Sorry to learn a classmate has left us. 1954 was a good year for us Brookhaven High School seniors and it is hard to say goodbye.
Jan — I’m sad to think of this earth without a Holt Alderman to spread joy and laughter wherever he goes. He was a very special man and I’m so glad you connected and made each other so happy. You’re in my heart.
Love,
Sandy
Dear Jan,
I was so sorry to hear of Holt’s passing. He was such a great guy and I know he was a super dad to Casey.
I miss being able to give you a hug when you most need one. You were always one of my favorite people at CFCC. Remember when we worked together in Records and Admissions? We had a lot of laughs together.
You are a great person and you will make it through this. It is hard to lose your soulmate. My heart goes out to you. If you feel like it later, send me an email and let me know how you and Casey are doing.
Love,
Jill
