Also surviving are their four children, Michael Hollo of Arizona, Michele (Scott) Almassy of Ohio, Meagan (Justin) Evans of North Carolina, and Matthew Hollo of Plymouth; two grandchildren, Ryan and Kyle; brother, William (Diane) Whilden of Alabama, and brother-in-law, William “Billy” Mitchell of Georgia.
