It's been many years since I was a young electrical contractor and engineer. I was a regular customer of CLS, and could always count on Mike to come up with an honest answer, and an ideal solution. When he formed his own consulting business, I would seek him out, and he never let me down. Although I have not seen him in years, I will always remember him as "one of the good guys".
My heartfelt condolences to his family and his many good friends.

Dear Hollm Family,

Please accept my deepest condolences on Mike's passing. Although I have not seen him for many years, I always remember him fondly through his close friendship with my brother Al, who was a classmate of his at WHS '48. Al passed last April. Mike grew up on Mansfield St, around the corner from our home on Vine St on the same block.

I remember him as a quiet, fun guy, and am sorry to learn of his passing. After all these years, I can still see his face as a kid. A really nice guy.

I share your loss. May Mike's memory be for a blessing, and may he rest in peace.

We have fond memories of Mike and Judy during our JAYCEE years and the ICO. We would see them frequently before they moved to Florida
We are so sorry for all they have been through during these past years, and send our heartfelt sympathy.

I didn't know Mr. Hollm very well, but I know his daughter Donna. She often speaks lovingly about her parents especially about her dad. She loved him so much and told me how gentle and supportive he was with her throughout her life. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hollm at Donna's wedding in Tucson, AZ, and could see these wonderful traits shine through, even during our short visit. My condolences to the family. I hope your fond memories of your dad will ease your pain.
