It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of John Hollely on the 1st of February this year at the age of 74. He was a prefect, he matriculated in 1959 and was the Dux of the school that year.
He graduated from UCT with a B.Sc Hon. degree in Mathematics in 1963. He was a very good golfer and played for Northern Transvaal and Western Province. He lived and worked in South Africa, England, United States and The Netherlands. His last employment was as General Manager and Europe Marketing Manager for Kumba International BV when he was based for eight years in Amsterdam.
He retired with his wife, Margie, to Plettenberg Bay in 2008. One of their favourite pastimes was visiting many of the game reserves in South Africa. He was also very actively involved with the NSRI.
John was, without doubt, a very special and caring husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and brother. All who knew him were immensely impressed by his humble and caring attitude to life and people. He was a very proud Old Boy of Pretoria Boys High.
