Mr. Holmes is a legend in our community. I had the opportunity to meet him and conduct an interview with him along with some of the youth at the Urban League. He warmed our hearts with his kind, gentle spirit. He was truly extraordinary. Your family is in our prayers.

My thoughts, prayers and sincere condolences are with the family and friends of Carl Holme. I have very fond memories learning to be a Boy Scout under the guidance of Carl Holmes and his fellow Black firefighters at the Fire Station between NE 8th Street and 9th Street on Stonewall. He made a real difference in the lives of so many young men.
