Memories and Condolences

I met Dr. Holladay and Elizabeth in 2010 when my family moved into a house down the street from theirs. He was always a kind and gentle man when I called or he invited us to visit. I enjoyed our many conversations over the years talking about Eudora history and his family. Elizabeth's love for nature and children is endearing. They always were gracious and joyful hosts. I'll miss his friendship.

Just one of many retired RNs from Lawrence Memorial Hospital who adored working with Dr Holladay, one of the kindest most professional doctors ever.

Doctor Ken Holliday was great for Eudora and a good man. He even thought of the community when he was aging in practice to work with LMH to facilitate the community having a physician present.
I fondly recall his kind way of dealing with the end of his practice to make way for the future. I'm sure he touched many lives by the way he live.
Peace to all his family and friends who knew him far better than I.

Condolences to the family. Ken's life was marked by service to the Eudora community and to the health and well being of his patients. He also served on the School Board for many years and was the team doctor. I enjoyed practicing with him and learned a lot through the process. Thanks for everything. I remember Ken and Elisabeth as great ambassadors for the city and their bumper sticker "we have it good in Eudora"

Deepest sympathy to the family. Dr Holladay was my husband and my doctor growing up. He treated me once on a weekend night, leaving the county fair.

If it wasn't for him when I was 14 I don't know if I would have made it that year. Had to get my thyroids removed and thank goodness he told my family to go that night. Now I'm 42. hugs to family and friends, he will be missed.

I was sad to hear this. It's been awhile, but I always enjoyed running into him and visiting at the post office or convenience store when I was in town. He will be missed.

My condolences to Elizabeth and the children. I remember Doctor Holladay making a house call to us when we were sick as children. He was one of a kind! Eudora was lucky to have him
