I had the privilege to be under the guidance & tutelage of Henry M. Holloway from age 8-17 within the hollowed halls of LHMC. He was my greatest mentor in my life, taught me many life guidances & music. He was a master of ceremonies for so many events: choir trips, summer music camps, hay rides, singing backup to Dale Robinson on "Tumbling, tumble weeds" at SA Stock Show & Rodeo, singing on TV on Mary Denman's "Our Town." What a blast!!! A day doesn't go by without singing along w/ a commercial & Henry/choir memories come flooding back to my memory. We were on choir trip in California @ a Kips (Boy?) restaurant & someone in kitchen drop whole cart of dishes, the choir broke out laughing & clapping. Mr. H. as we were leaving had us sing a song.
I give thanks to Creator for allowing this wonderful, gifted man to survive the Korean War, & allowed him to be my guide in those formative years! Regards to all in his family & choir members.

Thank you Henry Holloway for the songs, the dances, the laughter and the love. You were a rock for me and so many others when the world spun out of control. You leave a long, deep and proud legacy. Blessings to you and the family.

My teen years were very difficult in many ways. This man and LHUMC got me through those years in one piece. He taught me the joy of making music even though I couldn’t read it. His faith was alive and he taught me what it meant. He taught me to have confidence in myself and my abilities, even when I made wrong decisions. He taught me to trust myself and how to be wise in trusting others. He was the one person I could count on when the chips were down. My dad passed when I was a very young adult and he along with other men at LHUMC were there for me. 

I was very fortunate. He taught me to never give up and to finish whatever I started. 

I will never forget what I learned from him. Those of us he touched will always carry him with us because we were blessed to know him. 

Thank you, Mr Holloway.

I seem to recall Henry leading the singing, both in worship and in hilarious times of fun fellowship, teaching us a lot of very fun music. I was in high school at the time, and I’m now almost 83, so the timing would be about right. May God rest his soul, and bless his family!

Dear Susan and all Holloways,

I can without any doubt say that one of the names I heard spoken in childhood was that of Henry Holloway. Henry was a cherished friend to my father since their days at Southwestern.  He sang at my parent’s wedding reception in 1954, at the old Woodlawn Methodist Church, and he sang again at the Memorial Service for my Dad at Laurel Heights in 1976. On neither of those occasions would anyone have been acceptable but Henry. 

When I hit Junior High, Henry was doing the Southwest Texas Conference Youth Choir Rally work. That single event each year drew hundreds of kids, and like many of them can, I still hear him saying, “Hello Radio!” He was simply the best!

Professionally, I considered Henry to be one of my cheerleaders. Every time I saw him - and sometimes when either he or I would call - Henry would offer me words of encouragement and support.  He would often tell me how proud my dad would be of me - a grace I accepted because he really knew my dad and I trusted him so. 

Even though I have neither seen or spoken to Henry for years, he has been present in my mind and heart...and always will be. 

You are in the prayers of the Galloway family. 

Faithfully,
Barbara Galloway

Henry visited the believers class and  he talked to us about how to greet each with a proper kiss like he believed the early Christian’s  greeted each other   Juanita souder

So enjoyed Henry when he was our interim choir director at First Presbyterian!  A delightful soul!  It was a joy! Prayers and blessings to the family.

What a guy! Always funny, usually "right on time"-never late for a service, but sometimes we worried! No question he is in Heaven, a Gentleman and a gentle man! RIP, my Friend!

Henry, my very best friend, along with his wife, Susan and children, helped my wife and I through many rough times; but, more than that, Henry was a dedicated minister of Christian music and with the help of his wife, Susan, established an outstanding Super Adults ministry.  Hundreds of his choir members and Super Adults will remember this great man for his love and contributions.

Henry was a good friend to me and I loved him dearly. In 1979 Henry chose me to collaborate with him to create kneelers for the sanctuary. It was a monumental project that meant the world to me. Henry was a renaissance man and excelled in so many things. He will be terribly missed and is quite frankly irreplaceable. Bill and I extend our deepest sympathies to Susan and the whole family.
Godspeed Henry. Karen and Bill Kinnison
