Robert Holland Obituary

Robert "Bobby" Arthur Holland passed away in Honolulu on September 24th at the age of 96. Born and raised on Oahu, he had a lifelong love of sailing and was a talented musician. After retiring, he moved to Washington State, where he enjoyed salmon fishing on the Columbia River with friends and traveling with his wife of 68 years, Sylvia. Every year they delighted in spending months on the East Coast, helping to care for their youngest grandchildren: Emily, Miles, and Penelope. Bobby is survived by his wife, Sylvia, and his children: Robyn (Kimo) Keawe, Sheryl (Alex) Kaliipio, Robert S. Holland, and Tish (Stan) Holland, along with their families. He is also survived by his sister, Dayna (Michael) Garvin. He was predeceased by his sons, Stephen and James Holland. A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date.
