My deep love and sorrow are with you now.  Mr. Hollandsworth was the best closest person to a real father to me after my father died in 1964.  My mom moved me and my two brothers to St. Louis where we resided on Oak Springs Land, across from the Hollandsworth family.  Pat and I quickly became best girlfriends.  Her parents always treated me like family even though I was over there SO much listening to 45's, eating snacks and hanging out with Pat.  Mr. Hollandsworth always made me feel so special and welcome.  He always took the time to talk to me and smiled his twinkly smile.  He was always encouraging  and  sweet to me.  My brother, Peter remembers him coming over to collect him from our house during a tornado watch when he was only 8 and all alone.  Mr. Hollandsworth was clearly the most loving and protective man with his family and everyone who knew him, that I ever knew.  I had not seen him for a very long time but was hoping to get back and thank him for being so good to me and my family.  Now I just keep him in my thoughts and prayers as I do all of you at this time.  Please know that though the years have passed so swiftly that I still feel like you are my family.  May Love, Blessings and Angels surround you at this time.  I am there in spirit.

Bill was an ICON in our business and will be sorrowfully missed. His good name, based on the highest level of integrity, will live on forever. He will be missed.

We were so sorry to hear about Uncle Bill, yet relieved to know that his suffering has ended and he is enjoying heaven now with so many of our other loved ones and friends.  I have always admired Uncle Bill and Aunt Janice.  Their lives have been a testimony of God's grace and blessing, and of following Christ to the end.  Aunt Janice, Kathy, Pat, and Carol - and all of your families - Gary and I are praying for you and keeping you near in heart.

Uncle Bill will be missed.  I had recently been in touch with him as he was passing some family medical history on to me.  I enjoyed so much talking with him at our reunion in Virginia a few years back.  My prayers are with aunt Janice, and cousins, Kathy, Pat and Carol.

Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.  Your grandfather is now safe in heaven with the Lord.
With all of our sympathy and love,
The Schodl Family

Patti and I extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to Aunt Janice and the family. We wish we could make the services, but simply cannot. We so very much loved and admired our Uncle Bill. He stood tall as a fine and Godly man. He was such a great example for us all. He will very much be missed. We rejoice at the same time that his suffering is over with the firm assurance that he is now with the Lord and so many dear and departed extended family members, parents, brothers and sisters. What a joyful reunion in Heaven that must be!!
