Dedicated to my friend Richard "Dick"
Holiner ---11/18/06
This is in the remembrance of my friend Dick Holiner who passed away
suddenly on 11/18/06. Words will not be able to express how much he's
missed. He was absolutely one of the most unique characters that I've
know in my life and one you will only know once in a life time...He loved
life and had so many passions it will be hard to list them. I know how
much he loved his son and family and how his granddaughters (Emily and
Lauren) where always in his thoughts.
Nothing was more fun than being around Dick and his friend of 45+ years,
Walter Sill. What a pair when they were together, nothing could have
been more FUN..  
Dick taught me more in the years
that I've known him than
probably anyone else...His
intensity and passion for the
things he loved will stay with me
the rest of my LIFE.
For those who knew and loved
Ole Dickey
MORE to COME...
