The Senate of Rhode Island has introduced a resolution expressing deep condolences on the passing of Thomas Joseph Holland. Mr. Holland, originally from Brooklyn, New York, built a fulfilling life in Rhode Island with his late wife, Veronica, and their three daughters. He was known for his strong values centered around family, education, and hard work, which he exemplified throughout his successful career in sales and marketing. In retirement, he enjoyed a snowbird lifestyle between Cape Cod and Florida, where he created cherished memories with his family.

After the passing of his wife, Mr. Holland dedicated himself to the Secular Franciscan Order, embodying the principles of charity and kindness in various communities. He later moved to the Midwest to live with his daughter, Patricia, where he continued to share his humor and warmth with new friends. The resolution concludes by honoring his legacy and extending condolences to his family, including his daughters, grandchildren, and sister, while also directing the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to his daughters.
