My condolences to the Family of Mr. Hollar.
It has been many years sence I had seen Lee, but He and I made many trips to Dairy Farms In Buncombe and surrounding counties together. I was Fieldman for Biltmore Dairy when Lee was tha Chief of the milk section at the health dept. I enjoyed working with Lee very much.
My prayers are with the Family,

Joy and Lee’s Family Members, Joy, it has been over 50 years since I came to work with you at Wachovia in Asheville and over 40 years since I was transferred to Charlotte. I am in Atlanta today with our son for Thanksgiving but pulled up the Asheville paper on the internet. Lee was a special person. The only comfort right now comes from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the concern manifested by caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you.
