To the Holtz Family,
I am so sorry for your loss, Mr. Holtz was a great man. I just remember him sitting and cheering for Mike and all of us on the sidelines during all of those cold lacrosse games. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know if there is anything I can do for the family.

I would like to express my sincere sympathy on the loss of John. I worked with him many years ago at the Hillcrest Branch of the bank. He was truly one of the kindest people I have met. He always had a smile for everyone and spoke with love for his family. He made a lasting impression on all those he encountered. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Lucy and Family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. I worked with John many years ago at the bank. Even after I left, I made sure to go to his window when banking so we could catch up on each others families. He was such a kind man and will be sorely missed by many.

My Precious Lord Jesus, almighty God, thank You for the soul of John Holtz and Your Light shone through his soul to his community. Comfort the souls of his community as they gather to celebrate John’s earthly sojourn this week. Bless their souls with salvation and strength as they continue their earthly journeys without John’s presence. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen!
**I worked with John from 1965 – 1972 at the former Phillipsburg National Bank &Trust.
