John K. Holland

Jack passed away on May 21st due to the recurrence of a brain tumor. Surviving him are his wife, Carolyn and their children, Leanna, Kaede and Mac as well as his children from a previous marriage, Blake and Keira. He graduated from Marshfield High School in Mass. and attended Boston University. While stationed in Stuttgart, he served as a helicopter mechanic for the US Army. His career in the restaurant business included The Elbo Room in Ft. Lauderdale, Hugo's Lighthouse in Cohasset, The Last Hurrah in Boston and The Phoenix in Cincinnati. When he owned Ward Six, he was honored with a "Best of Cincinnati" award and was commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel. An excellent bartender and outstanding cook, he enjoyed reading, playing horseshoes on the beach, watching Jeopardy and fishing. His sense of humor, honesty and obstinate Irish charm will be missed. In tribute to Jack, an Open House is planned on May 25th at his home in West Chester and a Memorial Service will be held in Green Harbor, Mass. in August. His family is grateful to the staff at Good Samaritan Hospital, Precision Radiology and Hospice of Cincinnati for the compassionate care he received this past year and for the unbelievable support from University Anesthesia Associates. Avance Funeral Home & Crematory, Fairfield is serving the family. Condolences may be sent to www.avancefuneralhome.com
