Robert Lee Holloman
Sen. Robert Holloman passed away this morning. He is the second legislator to die in the past few days. This from state Democratic Party Chairman Jerry Meek, via e-mail:
"Today, the North Carolina Democratic Party is in mourning. It is with great sadness that we learned over the weekend of the deaths of two of our legislators, Representative Howard Hunter and Senator Robert Holloman, who coincidentally represented the same part of our state. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hunter and Holloman families in this difficult time and with the people of Northeastern North Carolina that they represented. I ask that Democrats pause today to salute their service to our state."
