Toutes mes condoléances... sa me fait de la peine de pouvoir me rendre avec Sidney (Papa) . Sa me peine beaucoup que mononcle soit partit. Malgré tout je pense a vous. XxxxX

My sincere condolences to John, Charles, Frank and Sidney. 
I woke up this morning at 4:30 and started thinking of todays’s funeral, wishing I could be with all of you today to remember and honour Emery’s life and the impact he had on all of us.  I even thought of putting all precautions aside and tearing down the highway to be with you.  You are all so dear to me but my own weakened heart condition from my heart attack and COVID restrictions don’t allow me to make this trip at this time.  I am deeply saddened to not have Emery with us anymore.  But I am so grateful for his life and the fond memories of this great person.  He was like a brother to me.  
Our thoughts and prayers are with you today. 
Brian and Christiane

Love Shirley

Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. My sincerest condolences for an incredibly great loss. l'll never forget

I just recently learned of Emery’s passing just a few days ago from a family member living  in Chibougamau. I as well as the rest of the Grubisich family would like to extend our deepest heartfelt sympathies to the Holland’s family,  As a teenager growing up in Alma I have fond memories of the Holland’s family members & was a good friend & schoolmate of his youngest brother Sid. Being on the west coast of Canada for 47 years now, puts considerable time as well as distance, but twice I’ve been back to Alma,  in 1986 and in 2007 & had the pleasure of making contact & visiting with Sid in Roberval, & spending a number of hours at his place doing plenty of reminiscing & story telling including how much I envied Emery’s 1970 AMX. How I bet that he often wished he’d kept that gorgeous car! I had many a conversation with Emery after, I would stop in & visit quite often with Sid & we would crank up the stereo & annoy tremendously Sid’s mom & of course we then subsequently faced different music from Emery! All good things to remember now & so I just wanted all of Emery’s  family to know that all of my family is thinking about you all, that you are in our thoughts & prayers. May Emery Rest In Peace.  Lance & Anita Grubisich 

Mes sympathies à toute sa famille .je garde un très bon souvenir d’Emery .   Un bon collègue de travail attentionné et professionnel envers tous .
Un  amant de la musique renommé .. Repose en paix.



Mes sincères  condoléances a toute la famille, nous avons été pendant de nombreuses années  proche voisin et amis à la dam en terre.

Je ne peux imaginer que Emery ne soit plus là.  Mes plus sincères condoléances à John, Charles, Frank, Sydney et la famille immédiate.  Il a bien su caractériser l’esprit de la famille Hollands, et a fait le lien entre sa génération avant lui et la nôtre, avec amour, clarté, dignité, et un brin d’espièglerie.  Merci Emery de m’avoir influencé de façon positive, surtout étant jeune, et d’avoir fait vivre ces valeurs familiales qui nous guident dans nos vies.  Ma pensée tournait à l’occasion vers lui, en se demandant comment il se portait.  Emery si je pouvais te serrer la main pour te remercier de ta personne, de t’avoir connu, et te dire la fierté que j’ai d’être membre de cette merveilleuse famille.  Tu vas me manquer.  Sandy

In my early years, I  had memorable  occasions with my very personable uncle Emery. These included summer days at his cottage on Lac St-Jean, boating (He let me drive his blue boat with a 70 Evinrude alone and took me water skiing.), ski-dooing (He let my dad, Charles, who was with my sister Sophie, and Emery's friend who was with my brother Bruce proceed on a trail while we took a detour on a snow covered dirt road near the cottage and did over 90 mph to catch up to them.), listening to music (He had a wall full of stereo equipment), and driving in his AMC Javelins. Emery owned three Javelins and he also had an AMX. I bought a Javelin myself and he drove it back from Roberval for me because I didn't have experience with a manual transmission. Emery also owned Kawasaki 250 and 500 2 stroke triple motorcycles. I can recall a time when I was walking with his dog Lassie, at the time cared for by my grandmother, on the road in front of the Price Brothers mill and he rode by on his 500 and spotted me. I developed a passion for motorcycles having seen Emery's and later bought one. I crashed that bike after a visit. Uncle Frank picked me up and trailered the bike back to my grandmothers in Alma where it was stored over winter. Sid also drove to Alma that day and we went to Emery's cottage until it was time for Sid to drive me to the bus station for my trip to Ottawa. Emery got the bike fixed for me and I rode it back to Ottawa the following spring. I've always appreciated the time Emery took to spend with me and enjoyed the dynamic of four brothers who loved one another and got along very well.

Je garde le souvenir d’un amant de la grande musique, j’ose croire que cette musique te suivra là haut.

A la famille Hollands nos sincères condoléances.

Noémie et hugh

So very sorry to hear of Emery’s passing. My sincere condolences to the family.

I have  many fond memories of Emery. We grew up as close friends in Alma. 

 My sympathies  to Emery’s son John and to his brothers Charles, Frank, Sydney and to all of the Hollands family. 

It is with great sadness that we learn of Emery's passing. Our thoughts are with you all.

Margot et moi, offrons nos condoléances a la famille Hollands et spécialement a John et Lise.
Emery a été mon compagnon de travail pendant plus de 25 ans. On se connaissait tres bien et nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir ensemble.
Nous avons effectué  de tres beaux voyages en Floride et aux Bahamas.
Emery et moi avions une passion commune soit la DEUXIÈME GUERRE MONDIALE. Beaucoup de discussion et il m'a appris que son oncle Frank avait fait le débarquement et décédé le 8 juin 1944.Lors de mon voyage en France, je me suis rendu au cimetière Bernière sur Mer et trouvé l'endroit ou repose  son oncle Frank. J'ai pris des photos et je lui ai remises. Il était content.
Une autre passion d'Emery a été l'AUTOMOBILE.C'est la que  j'ai appris comment fonctionnait un moteur d'automobile.
Mais sa plus grande passion , c'a été la MUSIQUE.
Il était a la fine pointe pour ce qui est des équipements de musique. Il avait atteint la haute fidélité.
Je suis certain que Emery rendu la-haut ira faire un brin de jasette  avec CHOPIN,MOZART, BETHOVEN et MALHER et dire comment il appréciait leur musique.
Salut mon CHUM et repose en paix


John, je t'offre toutes mes sympathies XX.

C’est avec une grande tristesse que  nous avons appris le décès d’Emery. Nous n’avons  que de beaux souvenirs de chaque instant où nous l’avons côtoyé. C’était un collègue de travail très aimable. Nous t’offrons John ainsi qu’aux proches nos plus sincères condoléances.

RIP Uncle Emery.  Thanks for all the great childhood memories and for staying in touch over the years.  You will be missed. 

À toute la famille Hollands, mes plus sincères sympathies. Emery était plus pour moi qu'un collègue de travail,  C'étais mon meilleur ami  du bureau.  Rip Emery, va vers la lumière!

Mes sympathies à  toute la famille. EMERY a été un ex-confrère de travail à Alma et surtout un très bon ami.
