THOMAS LEO HOLLENBACK

(Thomas Leo Hollenback, 90, of Alpena), though we were not ready for you to leave this earth on Jan. 10, 2023, we lived a long, blessed life together. You were a kind, caring, and courageous man and we will miss you dearly. Throughout your life you worked very hard and never gave up even when it seemed difficult. You were extremely proud when you became an Electrical Apprentice and later became a journeyman in 1956. When your employment took you to many different places throughout the United States, and even out of the country, you cherished every minute you were home. We loved and adored you with all of our hearts and thank you for all of your hard work. Though you leave us behind, we know your in a better place with the Lord and suffering no more. Thank you for 38 years of being in love and taking care of me.

Love, Judy.
