John E. Holden, alias Jack, took the Deep Six, Monday, May 27, 2013

at the Willow Valley Retirement Community after a life filled with endless

laughter and debauchery. While flying his beloved Corsair as a Marine Fighter Pilot during WWII, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his combat activities, the Air Medal for action in Okinawa in 1945 and the Distinguished Fleeing Cross for avoiding numerous women who were seeking child support under unproven circumstances. -- John E. Holden - Obituaries

"Jack was widowed ten years ago after sixty-one years of marriage to Elaine Ewing Holden. He has had a number of other wives recently, none of which were his."
