Frank Holland, R.I.P.

I just received the sad news that Francis “Frank” Holland died on December 16, 2011.

Frank Holland was a good friend and was only 48 years old when he died. He had liver cancer. He was a spirited artist and an entertainer at heart.

Here he is playing at the Casino. He is on the right (stage left) playing the bass in this footage.

Here is his obituary.

“May God support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last.”
