Born and raised on Oahu, he had a lifelong love of sailing and was a talented musician. After retiring, he moved to Washington State, where he enjoyed salmon fishing on the Columbia River with friends and traveling with his wife of 68 years, Sylvia. Every year they delighted in spending months on the East Coast, helping to care for their youngest grandchildren: Emily, Miles, and Penelope.
Bobby is survived by his wife, Sylvia, and his children:
Robyn (Kimo) Keawe, Sheryl (Alex) Kaliipio, Robert S. Holland, and Tish (Stan) Holland, along with their families. He is also survived by his sister, Dayna (Michael) Garvin. He was predeceased by his sons, Steven and James Holland.
A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date.
