have to wonder anymore.
I had the privilege to speak to him on more then one occasion over the many years and those or the most cherished memories of him I have.
He is deeply missed.

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.
