Dave Neston wrote a sympathy message

“Love to all my Holson cousins at the loss of your father, and my Uncle Bootie. I have so many great memories of him and Aunt Patsy and the many trips out east to see the whole clan. Ocean City, watching him pitch softball, letting me drive his Caddilac...and just watching that loveable bear of a father, husband and uncle. Absolutely one of a kind. Love to you all, and love to you Uncle Bootie. Kevin Neston”
