To One of the Greatest Men I’ve met in my Life

Paul Holloway Senior was truly one of the greatest men I’ve ever met in my life. I know there are many many people who can say that Paul influenced or helped them, because he was that type of person. He was a Man of Integrity, Honor, and most of all Community.

He and Anna Grace taught me endless values that resonate with me today, they challenged me, they without a doubt supported me, and helped me to become the man I am today. I know I’m not the only one. He taught me that when you receive money from the community through a successful business you have a moral obligation to give some of it back. These two did that and then some. Their dedication to education, people, humanities and community will resonate forever.

I for one will never forget the lessons I’ve learned from this absolute power couple. I was only introduced to a sliver of what they do on a regular basis. For over 20 years Paul and Anna Grace have been laying the foundation for others, from charitable events, scholarships, innovation awards, and the constant support of those less fortunate.

Words can’t express how these great people took care of me in my times of doubt or need, somehow they always knew what to say to bring me back down to Earth. There wouldn’t be this site if they didn’t push me to create it. I will always admire and strive to be the person they wanted me to be, with moral integrity and honor that can’t be broken.

Their words, kindness, teachings, humbleness and generosity will live in me forever.

I love you guys, and I wouldn’t be here today without you.

Love Forever,

Derek
