Condolence: Dear Holer family: So sorry for your loss. My late dad, Irving Milchberg, was a friend of John's from early on; both came to Niagara Falls in the early '50s, full of drive and vision. My dad admired Mr. Holer a great deal for his achievements and groundedness. May you know no more sorrow.

Condolence: Mrs. Holer, Peter and Family, Our sincere condolences. My mother Diane was a long time employee of Marineland and through her we had the opportunity to become well acquainted with Mr. Holer. He was always kind to my children when we visited the park, always taking time to chat with us and making sure my kids were enjoying themselves. He was a true gentleman when my mother passed away, With sympathy, Greg, Ann, Patrick and Sarah Alderton

Condolence: Mrs.Holer, Peter and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Mr.Holer was a kind hearted soul who was always happy.. Hold dearly onto all your memories and all the love shared. Over time they will heal your heart.

Condolence: Marie and family :the many years I enjoyed working at the park will never be forgotten. John taught me so much and I enjoyed every minute with you and John. He was a warm kind person and you were always there with a smile on your face . It will be hard to walk through the park now and not see John driving his cart or his truck . We he accomplished in such a short time, on his own is a miracle. Keep well my friend .

Condolence: Dear Holer Family As a young girl, my family would come from Brampton, to your park. The Falls, were good, but you didn't come here, unless you came to Marineland as well. Years after, I never would have dreamed, that I would move here, with my 12 year old, after my husband passed. My son, graduated highschool here, and then started applying for work. He was accepted right away at Marineland and has been able to save for his College tuition. Three years on, he is still working there, and will be heading to College this Fall. I want to say thank you, for giving a young person the opportunity to work and to save and learn the workings of your park. As a young girl, coming to your park, I would never have dreamed that you would be there for us, years down the road. You will be missed. We will miss seeing you drive around the park in your old truck. The memories we have, will be held close to our hearts, for the remainder of our days. You lived the dream, and helped others live theirs too. RIP-- Heather and Warren Baryla

Condolence: There are no words that anyone can say at a time like this other than to express the deepest possible condolences. John was a wonderful man who did so much for so many people and had so many friends.

And through the many years since we first met this friendship has meant so much to me, my wife and our family.
