He was born on December 4, 1945 to the late George Lester Holden, Sr. and Marion Delcina Rose Holden in Attleboro, Massachusetts.

Mr. Holden served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. He was bestowed the honorable Purple Heart Metal. He was a patriotic man who was extremely proud of his country.
