Obituary
Rogers P. Holman, 99, died peacefully in his sleep on June 11, 2009. Born in Seattle, he graduated from Broadway High School and attended the University of Washington. Starting in the early days at the Red Barn, Roger spent 46 creative years at the Boeing Company. He was a former mayor of Hunts Point, Washington. Pre-deceased by his wife, Winona, he is survived by his sons, Roger and wife Mary Lynn; Neil and wife Peggy; Paul and wife Robyn; and daughter Ann. Private family services have been held. Remembrances to the charity of your choice are welcome.
Roger will be missed. My deepest sympathy goes to his surviving family.
I was struck by this announcement and it brought back many memories of Bellevue and Medina. Paul and I were in the same class and I remember you, Ann and my sister Terri knew your older brothers. My Dad retirned from Boeing and knew your Dad. My Dad raced limited outboards on Lake Union and boated his whole life. I just want to express my fond memories of your Mom, whom we called “Noni”too…Condolences to you all. I live on Whidbey Island now above Sunlight Beach. If you’re ever up here, would love to reconnect.
Peace to you at this difficult time.
Respectfully,
Wendy
Ann, My condolences on your loss. You may not remember me, but I sure remember playing on a great big airplane tire tube in your yard on Hunts Point. Did you know that Bill Gates bought my folks’ home on Evergreen Point?
Dear Ann, Paul and other family members,
I was so sorry to read of the death of your father. I remember the good times I had visiting Ann at the house on the lake. Ninety nine years, what a truly remarkable life. My best wishes and condolences to all of you.

Dear Roger, Marylynn and family,
We offer our sincere sympathy on the passing of your father. We will remember the interesting stories and discussions with him at your home. How very fortunate you were to have shared so many wonderful years with him.
Fondly, Sandra and Gene
We were very sorry to read about Roger’s passing. My Mother & Father, BetteWilliams& Roy, always enjoyed the times they spent together in the past. I can remember going to the house and then the apartment on Queen Ann. He is with Noni now and at peace. Bless your family.
Dear Ann…. I, along with all your Bellevue Hi School classmates, offer our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. It’s tough when your Dad passes away. I suppose everyone says…”Well, he had almost 100 years” but that just means you have that many more memories and many decades of having him close by.
I hope your grief lessens more each day and that you can begin to remember him in life rather than in death.
God Bless you Ann….and all your family. Kathy Mills now Rozzini
Worked for Rogers at Boeng for about 10 years in the 1970s. Great boss and a pleasure to be with. My condolences to his family.
I believe Rogers P. Holman was a good friend of my grandfather’s (Victor C. Ives, 1911-2000). I wanted to share this photograph of Rogers and Vic standing together in 1930.
