While I never got to know John well, I knew Kristen was with a caring, loving partner who would do anything for her. On a visit to their place in December, John spent a bit of time with us and then declared his portion of our visit over. He wanted Kristen and I to spend as much time together as possible and he retreated to the bedroom to watch….. soccer! You will be missed, John. Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever.” — Khalil Gibran

What to say about my good friend Holmzee. I was fortunate enough to go one several trips, bars, golf outings, and football games. With John. John always the loyalist of friends, mentor to me. John lead a high speed life with no holds barred. Going through my photos trying to keep the pictures a PG as possible. Anyone who knew John knew the way he played hard, and wide open. John was never afraid of the biggest bar bill, often footing my bill, or my share of the tab and then some. Never asking anything in return. It didn't seem to matter if we were driving over 100 MPH drinking wine on the way to Hover Dam in a rental car, or the Grand Canyon, Eating dinner in Bars/Pubs, dives. Or drinking hundred dollar bottles of wine in the back of restaurants. Or playing golf on tyhe best tracks. Ill never forget John asking me on an outing in Minneapolis MN: "Eric do you like wine". I replied "no John it gives me a head ache". John smiles and says, "That's because you've never had good wine". That night John Expanded not only my appreciation for wine but Great Friends! The world is now one less a great guy, all around great steward of the golf course, and above average golfer, and of course a wonderful friend! With much love ! Eric Lien
