Paul C. Holland Jr. passed away peacefully at the age of 81 in Sebastian, Florida on March 31, 2026, following a weekly luncheon with trusted friends.
Born on November 7, 1944, in Reading, PA, Paul moved to Milford, NH, during high school. Following graduation, he served four years in the U.S. Navy as a fire control technician. His military service sparked a lifelong passion for travel, which he later enjoyed through family cruises and trips in his motorhomes.
After attending St. Anselm’s College, Paul joined his father and brother at Holland & Sons floor cleaning business. He later established Village Carpet and Holland Flooring in Milford, NH. Outside of his professional life, Paul enjoyed tennis, woodworking, salmon fishing in the Great Lakes, and spending time with his family. A man of deep and unwavering faith, he was active in several churches and was particularly dedicated to his prison ministry and various charitable works.
Paul was predeceased by his parents, Paul Sr. and Gertrude (Young) Holland, and his sister, Cathy (Holland) Whalen. He is survived by his devoted wife, Bonnie (Morrissette) Holland; his siblings, Sally Tardiff and Larry (Andrea) Holland; and several stepchildren whom he loved as his own: Scott Gagnon, Meredith (Michael) Ware, Heidi (Jameson) Parker, Joshua (Audra) Callahan, Sarah (James) Bascom, Jessica Plante, Marie-Louise Callahan, and Rebecca (Patrick) Christman. He also leaves behind 16 adored grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and his dear friend, Jim Wiedman.

Bonnie and Family,
I wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of Paul’s passing. He was a good friend and a true man after God’s own heart. I love him and his willing service to you, his family and his church family. Paul was a dear and faithful friend and a servant of Christ. He was always willing to lead a bible study and his faithfulness to Christ was rare.
I thank God for Paul.
