Virginian-Pilot  August 6, 2011
NORFOLK - Thomas V. Holahan died Aug. 4, 2011 in Norfolk. He was born in Norfolk 
Feb. 1, 1916. Tom's parents were John Joseph Holahan and Katherine Cummings 
Holahan. His brother, John Joseph Holahan Jr., died in 1986.

The themes of Tom's life were faith and longevity. He lived in Norfolk his entire 
life and was a lifelong parishioner at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. After 
graduation from Maury High School, he had only one civilian employer, W.M. Reay & 
Company. He served in the United States Army during and immediately after World 
War II. Tom enjoyed independence until late in life. He played golf and was a fan 
of opera and good cafeteria food. After his midday meal, he liked to stroll 
through Norfolk Botanical Gardens.

Tom was courteous and patient and those with whom he spent time responded in kind. 
He deeply appreciated the attention shown him by his friends at Province Place of 
DePaul, Seniorcorp and Blessed Sacrament.

A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9, at Blessed Sacrament 
Catholic Church with the Rev. Father Joseph Metzger officiating. In lieu of 
flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, 
600 Newport Ave., Norfolk, VA 23505. H. D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Norfolk C
