With Deepest Condolences To His Family

I believe everyone in the paranormal community will mourn the loss of the Dr. Holzer. He was, in fact, someone that I looked up to, began our group's methodologies following his theories and techniques and had hoped to one day meet this man. That never came to fruition and I am saddened by that. Having read many, many of his books over the years, I enjoyed "learning" from him.

I know that he will move quickly to the other side and hopefully make contact with some of us looking for answers so that we may know what is out there.

Thank you, Dr. Holzer, for all you have given the paranormal community and the world.

Good-bye Doctor Holzer

We are saddened to hear of the loss of Dr. Hans Holzer. He was truly a legend in the field, and his work has inspired thousands of serious-minded individuals to study paranormal phenomena. His investigations of the Thomas Whaley House in San Diego with famed sensitive Sybil Leek inspired me to get involved in the field.

He will be greatly missed! On behalf of Pacific Paranormal Investigations, we extend our deepest sympathy to his family at this time. May our thoughts and prayers bring you a little comfort at this very difficult time.

Regards,

Brian Miller
Co-director, Pacific Paranormal Investigations
