Condolence: Last of the Line - Uncle Jim was the last of the Holt family and my last surviving uncle. I will miss him. He was always giving; even when we were all together for Christmas as little kids, he made sure he brought an orange or some other fruit for each of us. His work with children will always be remembered, and I know he and his ponies will be missed at the fair. I remember how much Mom used to love taking dinner down to him. God has blessed everyone Uncle Jim came into contact with, and I pray His blessings on all those grieving his loss. Special prayers go out to Leanor and her family as well. My God grant you peace and comfort.

Condolence: It's with a heavy heart that I send my deepest sympathy. Jim will always be remembered for his giving nature. The fair and 4-H will never be the same without him there. But he will always be in our hearts and thoughts. May he be the angel to all the ponies in the world. Rest In Peace.

Condolence: Such a great heart for children and horses. Jim touched countless numbers of lives. I don't think there's a man alive who could fill his shoes. You'll be very much missed, Jim. I can't imagine rounding a corner in the 4H horse barn and not seeing your face. Thanks for helping my children realize their love for horses.

Condolence: Not only did I lose a good friend, but our nation has lost yet another great U.S. Marine. I became friends with the "Pony Guy" a few years ago after our family joined his by marriage. His grandson, Mike mentioned to me that Jim recently lost a pet cat. During that time a kitten showed up on my doorstep, that had been abandoned in the neighborhood. I named him "Big Red" because it was a ginger colored kitten, quite tame, and obviously had been in a home. I took the kitten to Dr. Atma at Pennfield Animal Hospital, who spayed him and gave him the usual vaccines. As the vet knew the kitten was going to have a new home, he provided the services at reduced fees. I then took "Big Red" over to Jim's and he was absolutely ecstatic. He wanted to reimburse me for the minimal costs, but I refused. He did however make a donation to the animal hospital on behalf of his new pet. He also changed the kitten's name to "Spirit," because he said the kitten had improved his own spirits in such a positive way. I made many CPS (Cat Protective Services) visits to Jim's home checking on my placement, but they both loved each other. I know that "Spirit" gave him two years of happiness and contentment.
All Jim's horses will be cared for properly, and he asked that "Spirit" be given to a friend who has helped him in these last many months. She too, recently lost a pet, and I know this kitten will now also give her much happiness.
Jim Holt was a truly good man who will be missed by all.
God Bless, Rest in Peace, & Semper Fi!

Condolence: To a great man, our Uncle Jim. So gracious, so kind and so loving. He gave from the heart. Always remember the 4 H's - Head, Heart, Hands and Health. Thanks for all the memories and family times. You will always be remembered. To Leanor and her family: May God guide you all through this trying time and always.

Condolence: From being an angel here on earth to an angel in heaven. Thank you for your smile, kind words, and endless support over the years. Those who knew you are the blessed ones and watch over our ponies in heaven. You will truly be missed.

Condolence: They don't make too many like Jim Holt! Many children had opportunity to be around horses, be in 4-H, and earn a little extra spending money because of his generosity. Heaven will be a little brighter because of him! You WILL be missed!
