Lin was born in Edgewood, Arsenal, Maryland to Frank and Ruby Holoman.

He was raised by his parents in Woodland, North Carolina. Lin attended

Wake Forest University and was in the ROTC program there. His career in

finance spanned 44 years at multiple financial institutions in North Carolina,

Tennessee, and Georgia.

Lin and wife Bette were married in Plymouth, NC in 1975, and lived in

North Wilkesboro and Raleigh, NC, Nashville, Tennessee, and Roswell and

Canton, GA over the past 50 years.

Lin enjoyed playing golf, tennis, bridge, hunting, fishing, boating, reading

novels, watching movies and sports, cooking pig, and traveling, but his

greatest joy came from serving others.

Lin attended church regularly and served as an usher, Sunday School

teacher, Stephen Minister/leader, on the church session, food pantry

volunteer, and headed a Racial Reconciliation Council at Roswell

Presbyterian Church. He was on the board of two non-profit organizations,

Every Women Works, and Family Promise of Forsyth County. Lin served as

a board member and president of our neighborhood HOA.

Lin was an outstanding pig cooker and sold pig roasts at Silent and Live

Auctions at fundraisers for non-profit organizations. His team of friends

raised a great deal of money to benefit families and individuals in need. He

taught budgeting classes to women returning to the workforce and

recovering from addiction.

Lin truly made a difference in the community and touched many lives. God

lead him to a life of serving and he responded with all his heart. We were

blessed to have him for 80 years.

Rest in heavenly peace Lin.

Friends, please consider donating to the Alzheimer's Association. This

disease is devastating and there is still very little help to reverse it's

progression.
