Subject: Herb Hollinger Sr.
It is with deep regret that I inform the Strathmere Fishing and Environmental Club of the passing of Herb Hollinger Sr. last night at his home in Strathmere, NJ. Mr. Hollinger was with his family and friends at the time of his passing.
Herb Hollinger Sr., “Duke of Fluke” aka. “Pop Pop” was instrumental in the formulation of the Strathmere Fishing and Environmental Club and a valued member of the entire Strathmere community. Mr. Hollinger Sr. touched so many lives with his enormous heart, wisdom and humor. Mr. Hollinger was a very special person in my life while growing up in Strathmere and he always had a keen interest in what was going on around him and participated greatly in the SFEC and community.
Our hearts are heavy and on behalf of the entire membership, we send our prayers and best wishes to the entire Hollinger family during this tough time. Herb Hollinger Sr. was loved by so many and his love for fishing and zest for life was something special to be around and a model for all of us to remember.
Very Truly Yours,
Robert C. Coffey
S.F.E.C. President
