VIRGINIA BEACH - Clifton A. "Alfonzo" Holley Jr., of the 600 block of South 
Rosemont Road, died Feb. 10, 2005, in a local hospital.  A native of Norfolk, he

Holley and by a younger sister, Beatrice Holley Horace.

the Marine Corps, Al opened his own hat shop on Charlotte Street, in downtown 
Norfolk.  His talent for hat-making came naturally from his father, "Cliff the 
Hatter."  Al also worked at Consolidated Loan and Littman's Pawn in downtown 
Norfolk.

He is survived by his wife, Marjorie Harper Holley; a son, Vincent X. Holley and 
wife Benita D. Holley; two sisters, Mary Magdalene McInnis of Chicago, Ill., and

Holley Rogerson; an uncle, Charlie Holley, all of Edenton, N.C.; a sister-in-law, 
Clarissa Harper Stone (Horace) of Detroit, Mich.; and a granddaughter, Raven.

Father Dorgan presiding.  Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery.  Graves Funeral 
Home is in charge.  The family will assemble at the residence the day of the 
service.
