Our father Richard Benjamin Holfus, joined our mother Beverly Ann Holfus and the Lord on November 1, 2017. Richard was born August 23, 1935 in Detroit, Michigan. He was the middle child to Benjamin and Marjorie Holfus. He is preceded in death by his brother Robert, and is survived by his younger sister Sally Nichol.

Richard attended Laingsburg High School and graduated in 1953. Richard married his grade school sweetheart, and love of his life, Beverly on September 24, 1955.
