Tribute
John Holland was born in Paris Texas on November 4th 1949. The best years of his youth were spent in Pottsboro Texas where he made lifelong friends that remain close to him to this day. During his adult years his focus was on God, family and job in that order. John retired from Tom James Clothiers after 41 years during which he achieved top honors in many areas of the company. His passion and gift in life was to mentor others which he did with great success always building up others to see their true potential. The positive impact he had on others throughout his life exceeds far beyond what will ever be known. He shared his love of God and family at every opportunity that was presented in his path. John was an honest and loyal friend, which was known, without question by many. His legacy of love will continue forever.
