Bob Holland Obituary

Sorry I never met my namesake surfer dude. I am also named Robert Lee Holland and grew up surfing in Florida. At age 71, I can still surf, although my favorite pastime is "sky surfing" aka paragliding.
I had heard about "the other" Robert Lee during my surfing career which started around 1960.
Should have come up to surf with him. RIP or catch the big one in Heaven.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing our love ones is never easy but may the love of people that surrounds you soften your grief. And may you find comfort and peace in drawing closer to God in prayer during this difficult time.

My condolences to the family and friends of Bob Holland. May all draw Comfort from Gods Words in these trying and sad times. BJ

Although this legendary surfer is no longer enjoying the waves, it's pleasant to know that he enjoyed his life and moved the hearts of others through his energetic enthusiasm. Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved husband, father, and friend. We can tell he was truly loved and that he loved you all in return. May our Heavenly Father grant you strength to endure - for "The angel of God camps all around those fearing Him..." and He becomes our Stronghold, while you cherish the beautiful moments Mr. Holland enjoyed with you...

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

So sorry to hear of your loss. May fond memories keep him alive in your hearts always.

Bobby, your dad was truly my inspiration to become a surfer. Seeing him surf at the steel pier are memories I won't forget. Jane and I want you and the rest of your family to know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your dad was a true gentleman and was always friendly and had a great smile. Find peace in knowing he is in heaven riding the perfect left on a short board.

My condolences to the Holland family for the loss of your dearly loved and courageous Bob. May the fond memories and happy times bring joy to your hearts and may the loving promise recorded in Hosea 13:14 give you some peace and comfort during this difficult time.

To Bob Holland Jr. I am sorry for the passing of your father, I only ran into a couple of times, but anytime any one loses their father,I know there are few words of comfort that anyone can give you, that will help relieve the sorrow you know now. As time passes, the good memories will prevail and I know your father will never leave your heart. Love, Jim Simms

I would like to share my condolences with his family and friends. It is very difficult to see what Alzheimer's disease does to people especially when they were once active. I am caring for my mother through her fight with the disease. May you find comfort in knowing that many are thinking of your family and in knowing that our Heavenly Father wants to help you. Please turn to him and prayer and rely on him for strength.

Condolences to the family of Bob Holland.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
May the God of all comfort strengthen you at this time.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I never met Mr Holland, but I watched him surf many times over the years. Mr Holland appeared to me to be special man who carried himself with honor, respect and kindness. Va Beach has lost an oak. Now it is for someone else to pick up the responsibility to influence people like me who have faith because of Mr Holland.

Holland Family,

Our condolences to the family and friends. May your memories of him bring peace in your hearts. PS.147:3-
He heals the brokenhearted: He binds
up their wounds.

Bob and Pat Holland were such great couple. He always had a warm , greeting smile and a sincere caring for people.
Glad to have the privilege to be a friend for so many years.
Prayers for the family at this time.
Love to all,

My sincere condolences to the Holland family.Draw close to the God of all comfort during this difficult time.

Capt. Holland was a true professional, a class act. I worked for him for many years during his long career as a Virginia Pilot. Whether a submarine, tugboat or giant super-size coal collier, Capt. Holland was willing and quite capable.
A true gentleman, besides.
Unit 17, Finished with engines...

Sorry for your loss. May you draw comfort from the scripture at Ecclesiastes 9 : 5 that show your loved ones a resting in peace.

Rest in Peace

Extending my heartfelt condolences to the Holland family. I don't know your pain, but I know what is like losing your loved one to Alzheimer's disease, I watched my father suffer with it , I also lost him in 2015. But I hold on to the hope of seeing my father again in paradise. Luke 23:42-43.

As a child I remember seeing the entire Holland family at the Steel Pier. I always admired the entire family and esp. Mr. Holland who loved surfing with his family. So sorry for your loss.

Your passing makes me reflect on our early days of surfing, Thanks

My condolences to the family. My father, Ethan Wood, worked with him for many years prior to his retirement from the Pilot Association. May God bring you peace in your time of loss! Deborah Wood Krueger

My sincere condolences to his family and friends!

CONDOLENCES HOLLAND FAMILY:SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR SORROW.MAY GOD GRANT YOU PEACE AND STRENGTH AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME (PSALMS 29:11).

Earth and the Family both lost a Great Man, God now has a advisor on how people should treat each other!

Mr. Holland was a great man, legend of the Surfing Community, Beach Community in general. He was a friend to everyone he met and never had anything but a kind word to all. I was fortunate to have served Captain Holland as a Launch Operator for the Harbor Pilots as a young man and later know him from Wareing's Gym and the Surfing Community. Celebrate his life!

To the entire family,
I want to thank you all for the privilege of spending time and building memories with Bob. He was truly a great man, and was someone everyone loved and respected. It was an honor to have known him.
Skye Henderson

Bobby,
