Share your condolences:
I cherish so many happy memories of Holley - the first time we met at a Southern Public Relations Federation conference, every time he played with the band at conferences, the late-night shenanigans in so many hospitality rooms, the time he proctored my Public Relations Accreditation exam, the dinners we shared when he visited his father in Mobile, the time he visited Suzanne Fornaro, Carol Mann, Jamie Palmer and me at Jamie's home in Flat Rock, and so many others. He was hysterically funny, an earnest listener, a great giver of advice, a repository of knowledge on infinite topics, a talented musician, a kind, kind soul, and a treasured friend who always made me feel like a princess. I bet the angels in heaven are just as enamored of him as I was.
