From Stephanie Holloway:
In Honor of my Dearest Popsi ~
It is never easy to live life without those we love. I am eternally grateful that I was able to have my father-in-law, "Popsi", in my life. He was a charming and witty man who always made me feel loved. I have a beautiful white outfit that he chose for me, and it will be a forever reminder of his love and affection. I will always hold precious memories of his laughter and determination. He will live in our hearts and minds forever. May he rest in eternal peace.
Daughter-in-law ~ Stephanie Holloway

From: Joe Holloway
My Dad passed away on June 4th, 2021. Even though I knew it was looming, I did not know it would come so soon. I was hoping and praying we would get to spend some more time with him this Xmas.
I will always remember Dad always trying to make his family and friends laugh all the time. All Daddy wanted to do was to make sure people felt comfortable and make sure they were not feeling left out, whether it was at Civil Service Club, Yoruba Tennis Club, Onikan Hospital, Ologbowo Church, and with most importantly with his family.
Daddy left an impact on every person he met, even strangers because he was very friendly.
While we hope we never have to experience such a life-altering loss, the truth is we all pass away. The pain of losing Daddy will perhaps never leave me. I Imagine it will ease with time as I process it and get through.
How can I get through Daddy , that has been here before I was even aware of myself? Daddy, Sleep well!. Thanks for meeting mummy and bringing me into this world.
Daddy's life, his influence, his calm nature, is linked to mine and now I take comfort in that. I take comfort that Daddy is no longer in pain. That suffering is no longer something he has to endure.
Daddy, you will forever be in my heart, until the day it stops beating. Rest in peace Daddy.
I love you, my wife (Roxy), Jordan, and Francene loves you.
Now and forever
Joe Holloway

From Omoniyi Ige:
James Adekunle Holloway JAH -
The way I see and have known him for over 50 years, irrespective of other people's view. Daddy is a loving, kind .intelligent, and jovial person, my uncle was humble and down to Earth and very honest. His integrity was unparalleled. He would not steal,very content with what he had. He had his own shortcomings like every human being but cannot be judged by this. Daddy, you are completely free from the hustle and evil of this wicked world, I celebrate you, rest on my great uncle. Happy you're resting with God with your usual smile on your face

TRIBUTE TO UNCLE “KUNLE ODAN”
Uncle Kunle was our father’s first cousin, and given the appellation “Kunle Odan” by virtue of place of residence than on Lagos Island at Ajasa, contiguous to Race Course to distinguish him from his namesake, Uncle Kunle, our father’s younger brother.
Early memories of Uncle Kunle go back to the late 50s, when we accompanied our parents to visit Papa and Mama (EPOOOO!) at Onikan.
In those days, Lagos was a clean city of aquatics surrounded by lagoons, creeks, canals, and the majestic Atlantic.
We enjoyed those visits picking berries in the garden and playing in the Public Park opposite their house on particularly long swings & slides. Next to the Park was a Craft Shop where various figurines were made by a brilliant artist.
Uncle Kunle was the only boy in the family surrounded by all-female siblings, thus was quite privileged. He traveled abroad for further studies in the 60s, where he met his lovely life partner Miss Taiwo Bakare.
As we the younger ones returned home in the early 80s, we spent more time with the uncles and their close friends. It was always fun to see all the uncles and our dad at family functions bantering away! They were a close-knit family. Certainly, Uncle Kunle will be well received by all of them, being the latest arrival.
Uncle K was particularly fond of us and had jokes for us despite age differentials. He liked to talk and equally to listen. Uncle Kunle was a good Christian who in spite of medical challenges due to advanced age, attended weekly Morning Mass at the family Church, Olowogbowo Cathedral.
We give thanks for his life; especially being the longest-lived Holloway male thus far. May his journey be peaceful, guided by Angels and mercifully received by the Great Architect Of The Universe Who forgives all earthly misdeeds and grant him eternal peace.
Bimpe, Moji Busola, Disun and Shayo

From Adophy Family:
It is still a shock that Uncle has left us. I do remember when I first came to Nigeria. He was very helpful in my settling in and dealing with life in Lagos. He used to laugh at the way I called place names in Lagos. His encouragement extended to the time when I was in UI. I remember his prayers as I returned to campus via the Ibadan Express. I do speak for myself, Obiesie, Obie and Ngosi. This was the way he related with all of us, always caring.
It is always strange that it is the little things that one remembers upon one's passing. Uncle may not even remember slipping me the odd twenty or thirty naira note (things were much cheaper then) when I was in UI. But it is these little things that has endeared him to me and invariably all of us.
As he used to pray for me back in the day, we all join and pray for him:-
May the holy angels lead you forth to paradise,
and may the martyrs greet your coming home.
May you find welcome there within God's dwelling place,
The radiant city, New Jerusalem.
Adieu Uncle Kunle.
Ifeanyichukwu
For and on behalf of the Adophy family.

From Tobi Holloway:
I remember the last time we spoke, how you struggled to mention those words, “Tobi, Íse at’àwon Omo nko?, Osè pupò (3ce) not knowing those would be your last words to me.
Dad was the most handsome man anyone could pray for. I have nothing but fond memories of him. He was a perfect gentleman to a fault.
I’ll forever miss, “Tobi, íwó níkan nà ní mò lè bà’soro”, and the shout of Tobilola!!! anytime you saw me.
He was very loving and had respect for everyone no matter your age or status. Need I mention that he was a very emotional man, he had tears for every occasions.
The kids will miss Grandpa Lekki’s non melodious songs LOL and the one-one thousand Naira at each visitations.
Yet, Dad had his faults like all humans. However, we take consolation that God gave him the opportunity to make peace and restitution with him before saying his final good bye.
Adieu Dad, you were indeed a blessed man.
Tobi

From Mr. & Mrs. Sola Akin Williams -
Mr. James Adekunle Holloway, popularly known in the family as Bros K was the only son of his parents.
He was like a big brother to me
In his youthful days, he was an active member of Lafiaji Boys and Girls.
Whilst growing up, he was a shining example for the younger ones. He was soft-spoken, hardworking, well-mannered, and also ready to assist those around him in whatever little way he could.
He was very respectful to his elders and those In authority,
He was a committed Christian and a local preacher in the Methodist Church Nigeria. He hardly missed Sunday Services even during the period of Covid-19.
I would really miss him.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
Amen.
