Dr Hollingsworth was the best I was a patient of his for many years and even when I was in the US Navy having dental work performed by a Naval Dentist the Dentist said your Dentist back home does outstanding work and I don't know if I can perform restoration as well as he can but I will try. To make a long story short the tooth the US Naval dentist worked on had been saved numerous times by Dr Hollingsworth (should have been a crown but Dr Hollingsworth knew how to make restoration last a long time and work). There will never be another dentist that can match his expertise or his kindness with his patients. My prayers are with his family.

My fond memories of Dr. Hollingsworth as a kind, thoughtful, talented and generous man will forever be etched in my mind. His gentleness and love of family describe a person whom we all aspire to be.
My prayers are with each of you as you celebrate the life of your dear dad, husband, grandfather. Much love.
