Mr. Holland passed died early Friday of congestive heart failure. He was 80.Funeral services will be held at Grace Episcopal Church, Ocala at 11 a.m. Thursday. A military graveside service will also be held at Woodlawn Cemetery in Ocala following the church service.
He changed a lot of our lives, he was a large part of the CFCC success. He gave all he could for the program, he will be missed and I know that my Father, and a lot of others that have gone before him will be waiting with open arms. May, God bless his family.
Please pass the word on and let others know.

Thank you for posting! Frank and I were almost as close as your dad and I were! I spent many a good night at his house when I went down to interview his upcoming graduates. He will be missed.
Sorry to hear this news,
I didn't personally know him but I reaped the benefits of the program he built at CFCC. I came along shortly after he left, but his legacy lived on there.
A lot of us wouldn't be where we are without his work.
Mr. Holland was a legend... I remember when my dad (Jack Brown) started taking classes at CFCC back in the Seventies. That little Pink book that everyone seemed to want a copy of for so long. It used to be here around the house but don't know what happened to it.
One day I was at Burger Chef in Ocala on Pine Street and my dad along with someone else came in to check out the microwave oven, when I heard the meter beep I got up and left :)
Mr. Holland touched and changed a lot of lives, without him my dad and many, many more would not have been in this business.
