A special man

With the sudden death of Dr. P.O. Holliday Jr., Macon and Bibb County have lost a very special gentlemen. The mark of a life well lived is in how a person is remembered by those on which he made a lasting impression.

I first met Dr. P.O. in 1979 after moving to Macon and in need of a dentist. He was a most capable, remarkable, and gentle man who was tops in the dental profession. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and patients.

Harold Lemley
