William L. Holland

Bill retired as manager of the San Antonio J. C. Penney store on Fredericksburg Road in 1994 after a forty-year career with J. C. Penney, also managing stores in Garland and Alice, TX.

Bill enjoyed deep sea fishing in the gulf, tennis with neighborhood friends, fishing, boating, traveling, and hunting with his sons and being with his grandchildren. He was an excellent businessman, investor, faithful and loving family man. All who loved him will miss his steady presence and hearty laugh.
