Peter Hollis used to come to the Avon Senior Center to play pool/billiards with a group of gentlemen. He was so kind, gentle, loved playing pool and had a wonderful smile. His health did not deter him from coming and we enjoyed having him here. He made friends at the senior center and we considered him part of our Senior Center Family.
Thanks to his loving wife for sharing him with us and joining him from time to time.
We keep the family in our thoughts at this time.
